I like eating bugs, crickets unironically taste great.

I had a friend who owned a series of low-key exotic pets. Not really exotic, just unusual. Lizards, spiders, that sorry of thing.

They claimed to have one day had an epiphany, that grasshoppers literal only reason for existing was as food for other things. He said, no matter where he looked, the common factor in all animals was that they ate grasshoppers. Snakes? Grasshoppers. Spiders? Grasshoppers. Birds? Grasshoppers. Other bugs? Grasshoppers. Grasshoppers? Grasshoppers!

My question for you: are they better fresh? Alive? Or cooked? Fried?

Also, whats the point of a snake other than eating the grasshoppers?

Getting eaten by a hawk or weasel

I had a bag of cooked/dried ones. Pretty sure there was grasshoppers as well.

They tasted salty, but they weren't salted.

Roasted crickets with salt, lime, and chili makes a great snack. My only issue is that the legs get stuck in my teeth.

Silkworm pupae taste like eating a mushroom is a forest after it rains.
