On show are photographs and real life examples of edible creatures which are definitely not for the faint hearted! In Venezuela, it is a delicacy to eat the Goliath bird-eating spider, the largest known to man, by removing the hairs and legs, and barbequing it. Its abdomen apparently tastes like smoked crab!
Meanwhile, in Australia, it is customary to add a Witjuti grub, (which is bizarrely said to taste akin to nutty scrambled eggs and mild mozzarella in filo pastry), to a bottle of sherry.

Conversely, in South Africa, Uganda and Indonesia, termites, grubs, grasshoppers and stink bugs are a common food staple. Photographs of young children eagerly eating these creatures with delight are a poignant reminder of how the convenience and ease at which we obtain our foods is often taken for granted.
The American offering is slightly more conventional, but perhaps no less disgusting to some; a series of lollipops containing maggots.
Children will love the interactive models of a 200x life size honey bee head, an 80x life size golden winged dragonfly head, and a 60x life size desert locust, which as a young adult is pink in colour, before turning yellow as a sign of maturity. However, the 30x life size animatronic model of Giant Jungle Nymph, a lime-green stick insect from Malaysia, is undoubtedly the star of the show.
