How do you “slaughter” millions/billions of mealworms?

I think it might be that mealworms could be halal but not kosher?

“The Torah forbids two types of sherets (creeping things):

Earth crawlers, e.g. mouse, lizard[5]
Flying creeping things,[6] with four exceptions: Two types of locust, the cricket, and the grasshopper (translations of the species names vary).[7]”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_foods#Animal_products

I am not sure what would qualify as cruelty-free mealworm slaughter.

Really big blenders. They will eventually mix the bug meal with silent green.

A little bitty captive bolt pistol. Its precision work, but the worm doesn’t even know its coming so you avoid the adrenaline rush.

Adrenaline makes the worm gamey.

You slit their throats with very tiny knives
