The data will contain information on several factors that are relevant to a wide range of possible exposure routes to the LMO as indicated.

2. In a case where the risk scenario involves the potential toxicity of an LMO plant (or a substance produced by an LMO plant) to a herbivorous insect: the analysis of likelihood may consider the probability that the insect will be present, that the insect will feed on the LMO and that the insect will ingest a sufficient quantity of the LMO to suffer an adverse effect. Likelihood may consider probabilities on an individual level (e.g. what are the chances an individual insect may consume the LMO plant) or on a population level (e.g. what percentage of the population of insects will come into contact with the LMO) or both.
