All my soapbox-ing on entomophagy - why eat cute furry mammals like cows and pigs; eat bugs instead; and then... this face!!! "Eat bugs?" Eep!

Eating this bug would be illegal, if it makes you feel better. I think they're still a protected species.

I would NEVER eat a praying mantis!! Even if it wasn't so cute.
Nor would I eat the big bullfrogs in my pond.
Tomato hornworms morph into those moths that fly like hummingbirds, but the wasps are welcome to them.
Sadly, a great big mean wasp now kills cicadas. Paralyzes 'em, hauls the cicada underground to a nest, and larvae feed off the live cicada.
Nature is so cruel.

Wow! Great close up of this fellow. I think I ate a chocolate cover grasshopper eons ago...only tasted the chocolate. Not much desire these days to eat the bugs, but only if dire times come upon us. Anyhow, great job!
