-Non Toxic Paintings For Colouring Live Insects?

[CockroachYet]

-Hello al, are paintings which are non toxic for live insects so these can be coloured with vary colours without damaging the health of the insect? for example for an art or school project.
-Thank you, best regards.

I heard any paint is bad for insects.

What about a waterbased childrens paint such as they use for finger painting.
Aren't those likely to be the least toxic?

you can get some extremely water soluble non toxic types, disadvantage, in the wild the paint comes off within 2 days

Acrylic paint is fine for invertebrates; use in small doses on harder cuticle areas.
