It means the consumption of insects by us,human beings. Okay, we are not insectivores (eaters of insects), although, it must beadmitted, our primate cousins regularly feast on insects. Sure, but those relatives live intrees, and swing from branches, and we don’t. Okay, you say, snails, those slimy gardenpests, are relished as a gourmet food, most famously by the French, who are otherwise notinterested in garden life. But, I counter, snails are not insects. They are mollusks, and I’dlike to think that makes a difference.What I’m talking about is eating true insects, those with six legs, three body parts, hardexoskeleton, and two antennae. We can extend this definition to our eight-legged arachnids(spiders and scorpions), as well. These are creatures people just don’t eat. At least, that waswhat I thought, until I met a personally as well as ecologically-friendly young man, PeterFerguson, who advocates insects as the ultimate in culinary delight. Why? Peter explains,‘For a start, there are many insects, about 10 million species, and a huge biomass of highquality calories, and we just ignore them. In a world having trouble feeding itself, thatdoesn’t make sense.’Ignore them we do, at least in Western culture, where we have long had much betteralternatives. Animal husbandry has characterised our societies, giving us pork, poultry, andcattle, upon which we regularly feast. Yet other cultures don’t have it so lucky, in Africa, inAsia, and among aboriginal or ethnic groups in Oceania, insects have an equally longhistory as an important dietary supplement, from butterflies and moths, to bees and wasps,cockroaches and ants, beetle grubs or larvae, caterpillars and worms, scorpions (a delicacyin southern China) and tarantulas. Even the Christian Bible states that John the Baptist livedon locusts and wild honey, locusts being grasshoppers in their swarming stage. These sameinsects, incidentally, are commonly eaten in Thailand, where a visit to a market there willreveal multitudes, deep-fried in glistening piles for the delectation of passing shoppers.Consider the African mopane worm, for example.
