Has apparently been used to study other insects (monark butterfly). Seems to be a very simple construction a tube only showing the night sky and recording of the flight direction.

They're also considered a delicacy in that part of the world.

Always wanted to try them myself, but probably going to be more partial to wittchety grubs ..
