There is a lake, the Twin Taung Lake, over 6 miles west of Budalin in Sagaing Division. The Twin Taung is surrounded by many hills and if on looks down atop the mountain, it is of a frying pan shape, which has an acre of 200 square acres.
Spirulina in a natural form can be obtained from inside Twin Taung. Therefore, the Pharmaceuticals Industry under the Ministry of Industry-1 has built Spirulina Pharmaceuticals Plant and is producing medicinal products as well as cosmetics.

During the rainy season, a kind of insect we called Twinpoes (Eretes Sticticus) come out in mass from the Twin Mountain or Twin Taung. That is why villagers from villages around that area during that season catch the insects and sold it to markets. Usually this is done at nights.
To catch the insects from the Twin Mountain, they have to make suitable traps so; you can see many traps set up along the riverbanks. First they have to find a place at the riverbank not very far but on the edge of the riverbank by rowing the boats. When they find the place of their choice, then they set up the traps. The things needed to make a trap are a plastic cup and jaggery sticks.
2 jaggery sticks is place on the plastic cup taking it as the center in a V shape. That’s all that’s needed for making a trap, which is really very simple.
The lights from the shore attract the insects and because of these lights, the insects or Twinpoes, as we called it, slowly came up the shore. When arriving at the place where the plastic cup is placed, with 2 jaggery sticks while scrambling slowly at pace, they fall down one by one into the plastic cup. With that method and taking time, the insects are caught a mass. Patience is really needed to catch the insects. The best time to catch the Twinpoes is from between 6pm to around midnight and it is said that you get most of insects on full moon nights. The insects caught were boiled and then dried in the sun. Instead of dried prawns, people prefer to have Twinpoe fried.

Not only that Twinpoe balls are also cooked as curry, which is very delicious because it is very rich in taste. The insects from Twin Mountain, Twin Taung are species that can be consume by people harmlessly.
