This is an educational insectivore exploration device. There are 6 million species of insects on the planet, of which more than 1,000 can be eaten as human food, but only a few people know and eat insects. This device selects the three most edible insects (mealworms, bees, crickets) that are most acceptable to the public. The experiencer chooses one of the three unknown insect meals, then pours it into the hand-held container. After careful observation and preparation, the hand-held container could be placed in the corresponding circular instrument and pressed to obtain an insect cookie with a specific pattern on the surface representing the insect's edibility.
