“Junior, eat your obsolete computer! Don’t you know that an AppleTM a day keeps the doctor away?” Late last year, I stumbled across a paper by Zhu et al. (2022) and was immediately intrigued by the title—“Feeding Preference of Insect Larvae to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Plastics.” I suppose that, knowing the astonishing ability of insects in general to chew their way through just about anything, I shouldn’t have been surprised that electrical and electronic devices aren’t exempt. Their ability to chew their way out of plastic containers, for example, has been known for about seven decades [and experienced first-hand about a decade ago, when we initially tried to set up a colony of navel orangeworms, Amyelois transitella (Walker), in plastic buckets]. Their ability to digest and thrive on plastic as food, though, is a relatively recent finding, reported initially in Chinese (Miao and Zhang 2010) and four years later in English (Yang et al. 2014). Today, more than a dozen species are known to survive on a diet of plastic (Pivato et al. 2022), the vast majority of which are stored product pests (a pattern consistent with the fact that they are among the insects most likely to encounter plastic, given that the stored products they consume are often stored in plastic containers). But the concept that there are insects that can ingest waste electrical and electronic equipment (yes, there’s an acronym: WEEE), or e-waste, was new to me. It was a challenge to imagine what, over the vast span of insect evolution, might have preadapted insects to consume any of the parts of discarded microwave ovens, cell phones, tablets, computers, keyboards, printers, small servers, fax machines, scanners, televisions, cable boxes, video game consoles, and other once-useful tools fallen victim to hardware upgrades.
“小子，吃了你的旧电脑!”难道你不知道一天一个苹果，医生远离我吗?”去年年底，我偶然发现了Zhu等人(2022)的一篇论文，并立即被标题所吸引——“昆虫幼虫对废弃电气和电子设备塑料的摄食偏好”。我想，既然知道昆虫一般都有啃破任何东西的惊人能力，我就不应该对电气和电子设备也不能幸免感到惊讶。例如，它们从塑料容器中咀嚼出一条路的能力已经被人们知道了大约70年[并且在大约10年前亲身体验过，当时我们最初试图在塑料桶中建立一个肚脐橙虫(Amyelois transitella, Walker)的群体]。然而，它们消化塑料并将其作为食物的能力是一个相对较新的发现，最初用中文报道(Miao and Zhang 2010)，四年后用英语报道(Yang et al. 2014)。今天，已知有十多种物种以塑料为食(Pivato等人，2022)，其中绝大多数是储存产品害虫(这种模式与它们是最可能遇到塑料的昆虫之一这一事实相一致，因为它们消耗的储存产品通常储存在塑料容器中)。但是，有昆虫可以吞食废旧电器和电子设备(是的，有一个缩写:WEEE)或电子垃圾的概念，对我来说是新的。想象一下，在昆虫进化的漫长过程中，是什么让昆虫预先适应了废弃的微波炉、手机、平板电脑、电脑、键盘、打印机、小型服务器、传真机、扫描仪、电视、有线电视盒、视频游戏机和其他曾经有用的工具成为硬件升级的受害者，这是一个挑战。
