Zusammenfassung:	Process and machine for filling a container with insect larvae, wherein the process comprises supplying the larvae (2) to a hopper (5) which is arranged adjacent to a roller (6) having lines of openings for adhering a larva (2) at each opening, applying a vacuum inside the roller (6) for adhering the larvae (2) to the openings, moving the container (1) in a forward movement direction (A) towards the roller (6), the container (1) being moved through an area below the roller (6) and the roller (6) being arranged in a transverse position with respect to the forward movement direction (A), rotating the roller (6) in a manner that is synchronized with the forward movement of the container (1) from a loading position in which the larvae (2) from the hopper (5) are adhered to the openings (8) of the roller (6) to an unloading position in which one of the lines of openings faces the compartments (3) of one of the rows (4) of the container (1), and removing the vacuum from the line of openings in order to release the larvae (2), with one larva (2) being arranged in each compartment (3) in the row (4) of the container (1). Procedimiento y máquina para rellenar un envase con larvas de insectos, comprendiendo el procedimiento suministrar las larvas (2) a una tolva (5) que está dispuesta adyacente a un rodillo (6) que tiene unas hileras de orificios para adherir una larva (2) en cada orificio, aplicar vacío en el interior del rodillo (6) para adherir las larvas (2) a los orificios, mover el envase (1) en una dirección de avance (A) hacia el rodillo (6), trasladándose el envase (1) por una zona inferior al rodillo (6) y estando dispuesto el rodillo (6) en una posición transversal a la dirección de avance (A), rotar el rodillo (6) de forma sincronizada con el avance del envase (1) desde una posición de carga en la que las larvas (2) de la tolva (5) se adhieren a los orificios (8) del rodillo (6) hasta una posición de descarga en donde una de las hileras de orificios queda enfrentada con los compartimientos (3) de una de las filas (4) del envase (1), y retirar el vacío de la hilera de orificios para liberar las larvas (2), quedando dispuesta una larva (2) en cada compartimento (3) de la fila (4) del envase (1).
