From the Tropics: Caterpillar Cuisine 
I have told you about -exotic, alternative recipes- but this is all about alternative nutrition -- very alternative to most of you. If it grosses you out, just read the health notes. Otherwise, who knows, you may broaden your horizons a bit, and some day you might need to know that "many parts are edible" when you see that locust land on your nose! 
You'd be surprised how many thousands of different insects are not only edible but quite delicious. I'm not talking about chocolate-covered this and chocolate-covered that --- that would be weeviling out, in fact, it would be a gastronomical abomination. And speaking of weeviling, weevil grubs (worm-like babies, or larvae) are savoy and succulent when deep fried. Many of the adult insects are not edible (too much armor plate, toxins or just plain obnoxious taste) but their babies (grubs) are profoundly piquant. (Most insects don't care about their babies. In fact, they eat them if you don't get there first.)
