Story of a small green worm which is worth a fortune

A small green worm is fostering an industry worth 1 billion yuan ($146 million) in Guanyun, a country in the seaside city of Lianyungang, in East China's Jiangsu province.

Be cautious in Lianyungang when a dish that looks like stir-boiled egg white is served because you may not have the courage to eat it when you know its ingredients.

The dish is made of green silkworm-like insects. They are about 5 centimeters long and are usually seen on soybean leaves. While people in other places use pesticide to kill the worms, people in Lianyungang grow soybeans to farm the worms.
