I was at a Sonoran Arthropod Study Institute conference today and saw an awesome presentation on entomophagy (human consumption of bugs). I think i would like to get involved with the movement, as it were... I think i am going to start to keep a list, per state, of all the known delectable (or even just edible) species.
If anyone is also interested in entomophagy and would like to possibly lend a hand or even just keep abreast of my efforts, let me know here
I ate some possibly surprisingly good lightly fried Zophobas morio, super worms today
The talk i saw was given by Dave Gracer, of www.smallstockfoods.com
One of the points he confirmed and which i have believed for a long time, is that insects can provide meat at a vastly more efficient rate than a cow or chicken... something that is becoming increasingly of a concern as more and more of the world adopts the sort of stereotypical USA diet.
