I would made darn sure it didn’t think my finger was a carrot. A normal size grasshopper can take a chunk out of you.

I remember reading somewhere about people eating chocolate covered grasshoppers. This one can be breaded, deep fried, and accompany an order of fries and slaw on the side.

The nice thing about eating insects is that you don’t have to gut, skin or scale them.

I was almost too afraid to click on the link.
Definitely gross. And I’m sure somebody somewhere eats it toasted and salted and will tell us about the experience...

Gonna need more spray. Like the line from Jaws, "We're going to need a bigger boat."
