On our tour around Da Lat's countryside there were a couple bug related stops.
The first was a silk factory where silkworm coccons are spun to produce silk. It was really cool to see how it all works and the scale involved. There must have been hundreds of thousands of cocoons waiting to be spun. The worms are grown elsewhere and arrive already in cocoons.
The second stop was a rice wine distillery that also had a cricket farm where crickets are grown for food.
