Limited information exists on insects despite their promising potential. This work analyzed oils from seven insect species commonly consumed globally compared to commercial sesame oil using coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Oil yields from insects ranged between 11.1 mg\/g to 115.3 mg\/g. Over 67 fatty acids, \u03b1-tocopherol [vitamin E] and eight flavonoids were identified. All insect oils contained \u03c9-3 FA [i.e., \u03b1-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)]. The fifth instar of desert locust [\n                    <jats:italic>Schistocerca gregaria<\/jats:italic>\n                    ] had the highest levels of ALA (9.4 \u00b5g\/mg), EPA (1.0 \u00b5g\/mg), and DHA (3.1 \u00b5g\/mg) compared to sesame oil with ALA (7.9 \u00b5g\/mg) only. Polyunsaturated fatty acids were dominant in sesame oil. Over 50% of monounsaturated fatty acids were present in\n                    <jats:italic>S. gregaria<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Spodoptera frugiperda<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Bactrocera dorsalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>Gryllus bimaculatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    oil contained mostly saturated fatty acids (51.1%). The levels of \u03b1-Tocopherol [vitamin E] were significantly higher in all the insect oils except\n                    <jats:italic>S. frugiperda<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Flavonoids such as quercetin and luteolin were abundantly present in\n                    <jats:italic>S. gregaria<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>G. bimaculatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    oils. These insects are widely consumed across the globe and can be farmed using fewer resources.
