The larvae of the red palm weevil (Rhychophorus ferrugineus) are consumed majorly by the rural people in Nigeria. They are commonly known as Red Palm Weevil (RPW) belonging to the Family Curculionidae and Order Coleoptera. Evaluation of the nutritive value of this larva becomes important as the insect larva could form a base for new food/feed product of considerable nutritive value. This study was conducted at analytical Laboratory of Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa (OAUSTECH) to investigate the mineral content and proximate compositions of fresh and roasted larvae of red palm weevil. Data collected was subjected to t-Test. Significance difference(p<0.05) were observed in moisture content, ash, protein and fat but no significant difference (p>0.05) was observed in crude fiber and carbohydrate between fresh and roasted larvae Moisture content, ash, protein, fat, crude protein and carbohydrate for fresh larvae were 56.03%, 0.43%,10.29%,33.05%,0.18%, and 0.48% respectively while 30.55%,3.65%,14.15%,21.54%,3.70% and 25.87% represent values for roasted larvae respectively. Significance difference (p<0.05) was observed between the fresh and roasted larvae in all the mineral considered while Lead and Cadmium were not detected. It could be concluded that the larvae of the palm weevil is highly nutritious.
