No. I started eating huhu grubs with my grandmother when I was a youngster so I am a bug eater from way back. Stick insects, grass hoppers, cicadas, preying mantis etc, they all go in whole. It is the wings on things like cicadas that give me the most grief when chewing. The large honey ants in the Malayan jungle were bloody yummy. Most people think I am nuts but insects are a great source of protein and it doesn't hurt to reinforce the fact that you can survive off non conventional food sources.

You should at least try some huhu grubs. If you don't want to eat them raw then lightly sauté them in butter until the stretch and are golden in colour. Wonderful stuff.

Yeah/nah watched my son cook them up and eat them that was enough, but then again hes a human waste disposal system that one

and when you see them so closely like you can in those photos then it would definitely be a NO
