• eeu sweden south africa | Agriculture Can the restrictive harvest period policy conserve mopane worms in Southern Africa? A bio-economic modelling approach Imbrasia Belina also known as the mopane worm, like other edible insects and caterpillars, is a vital source of protein to Southern African countries.
