Abstract: A rearing pod (100) for rearing insects includes a bottom part (110), a wall part (112), a rearing space (115) for insects, and an opening (117). The bottom and wall parts are foldable material. The bottom part is connected to a lower portion (113) of the wall part so that the bottom and wall parts define the space. An upper portion (114) of the wall part defines the opening and an inner surface (116) of the wall part faces the space. The upper portion includes a plastic strip (130) in order to prevent the insects to climb along the wall part. The strip is on the inner surface of the wall part and the strip covers continuously an inner surface (119) of the opening.

Abstract: A separating device (100) for separating insects (204) from a rearing-based material (202, 203) includes a sieve part (110) and a moving part (280) for moving the sieve part in order to sieve an unseparated material (201). The unseparated material includes the insects and the rearing-based material. The sieve part includes an cylindrical sieve rotor (110) and the moving part is adapted to rotate the rotor in order to separate the insects from the rearing-based material. The rotor is inclined so that its lower end (112) is lower than its upper end (111).
