Bug Banquets
A new book called "Man Eating Bugs" talks about how bugs are
eaten around the world. It is mostly a picture book which
teases those squeamish about eating bugs (me). Here are the
bugs mentioned in the first 43 pages:
Australia - Witchetty Grubs
cystococcus echiniformis
honey pot ants
Balinese - Dragon flys
Iran - cicadas
China - Beetles
silk worm pupae
scorpions
Indonesia - Sago Palm grub
Mexico - Stink Bug
Japan - Zaza-mushi
grasshoppers
bee larve
silk worm pupae
Thailand - maeng man ants
termites
bamboo worms
crickets
water bugs (lethocerus indica)
So... is eating bugs part of connecting with nature? <grin>
