RE: I Was Served and Ate These 茧蛹 and Some Other Delicious Foods.
Bit curious because the first character of 茧蛹 refer the silkworm.
So, i did a baidu on that and confirm.

Actually that is the chinese i was told and given. I did know they are larvae of some sort of butterfly or moth. The direct translation i got from google didnt specify it was silk worm. Its quite popular in Dalian. You buy them live at many vegetable shops but not fruit or meat shops oddly. Lol
From the same market / stalls selling those fried scorpions or locusts then.
Haha. I wish, i would totally try those. These are the only insects ive seen people eat in Dalian.
