Theoretically, popcorn would be a good insulator due to its composition of mostly air and corn, both of which are good insulators.
Popcorn is better than good, because it is an NIC foam. NIC stands for non-intercellular, which means that the thousands of gas-filled cells of which it is made do not communicate with each other, or with the outside world. Each cell is a sealed space. In fact this is why corn pops when heated; the steam produced inside each cell can't escape, so it inflates the cell, which inflates the corn. One of the best artificial insulators is foam polystyrene, also NIC and about as lightweight as popcorn.
For contrast a household sponge is intercellular. Great for soaking up water, but useless as an insulator.
Note. In this answer insulator refers only to thermal insulation, not electrical.
it depends what type of insulator youre talking about. wood is a good thermal insulator and rubber is a good electrical insulator A perfect vacuum is the best insulator.

Yes it is a good insulator
Rubber is an object that is a good insulator.
its a good insulator and a good insulato
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.

is foam dirt an metal a good insulator
What is a good insulator for a igloo project
Yes, stryfoam balls are better (they are lighter), but a piece of popcorn suspended on a good insulator (dry cotton is good, very thin fishing line may be better), and a well-charged object should cause the popcorn to move.

A nonmetal would make a good insulator.
