    It is a different way of looking at bugs, they are beautiful, colorful and I am now thinking maybe a bug art quilt!

    What a beautiful pictures.
    With the cost of everything now a days, I will even consider eating bugs. Grasshopper does not sound too bad. I have eaten snails and that was ok. I saw on tv how in Australia there was a restaurant that used worms and fried them up. the initial thought makes me gag but I bet it is not a bad eat if you can get past the initial response.

    I too thought the bugs were beautiful. Some looked a little like aliens from a sci-fi movie. I guess if push came to shove and it meant survial I would possibly maybe eat a bug...LOL
