How it compares in Insects
Across the 44 rated insects products we track, the typical score is 4.5 out of 5. This one sits at 5.0, which puts it in the upper quarter of the category rather than level with it. Where almost everything is rated well, the gap at the top is small in points and large in practice.
It carries 8 ratings against a category median of 61. That is a thin base by the standards of this category, so treat the score as provisional: a handful of extra reviews can still move it either way.
