Similar to animals, I'd like to know if there are any limitations on performing independent open studies on insects (which could involve risk of killing them). Which insects can be used for that? Is it in any way treated as cruelty?

For instance, on this page I've found that all wild insects are protected in the UK, but I can't find it in the Act it-self. Therefore does taking insects from the public places for studies is fine?

How would that differ from any study, not restricted to the vaguely defined term "independent open"?

I've learned from this [question](http://openscience.stackexchange.com/q/1/10), that everything that is open (data, code, pubs, etc.) is called open science, therefore I believe it's on-topic. Somebody already raised some concerns at [meta](http://meta.openscience.stackexchange.com/q/50/10) with similar question.
