Lovely.
Among the treats that will be be on offer?
Well, for those with vanilla tastebuds, there’s plain roasted mealworms, locusts and crickets to be had. Meanwhile, the true “foodies” among you might want to try salt and vinegar mealworms, Mexican spice mealworms or curry mealworms.
There will also be bug lollipops, chocolate-covered bugs and ant candy for punters to sample.

It may not be to everyone’s palate, but the UN does note that over 2 billion of the world’s population supplement their diet with insects, so you know.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sure, they can’t be that bad. Look at this fella horsing into some curry crickets.
