Maria Thun's 'picture book" entitled "Gardening for Life" has a fairly specific outline regarding insects. She only lists a few, but you might get a sense of the rhythms she is suggesting from reading that book. Hugh Courtney at JPI has detailed instructions on burning and making the deltution. Insects are the trickiest to ash for. Their form is so varied during metamorphosis, the sun time for ashing will move correspondingly. With some insects, Thun found, you even have to consider the moon.
I'm interested to hear that Agnihotra is effective in this regard. The information from JPI was in the newsletter some time ago. If you can't find a copy, write back and I'll dig for mine.
