The Green Lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea) (an important predatory insect) was fed insects which had been feeding on genetically modified maize and conventional maize.
There was a significant increase in mortality and a delay in development was observed when the Green Lacewing was fed insect larvae reared on genetically modified maize.
This findings of the study implicate the hazardous ecological risks of genetically modified maize, and if it can cause death in insects-what impact could it have on human health.
