Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems are provided to insect harvesting. The system may include a tank for holding or growing live insects or both. The tank has an opening on a side portion of the tank, and the opening is positioned higher than a bottom portion of the tank. A negative stimulus device for repelling live insects toward a first direction or point towards the opening on the side portion of the tank is provided. A positive stimulus device is provided, situated at the opening of the tank. A product box for receiving live insects has an opening for receiving the live insects. A slide is coupled with the opening of the product box. In an operative position, the tank is positioned such that the live insects leaving the opening of the tank move down the slide to the opening of the product box.
