Anyone brave enough to try these ?

Nooooo.....keeping and watching them is far nicer

Imagine acquiring a taste for them, you'd be snacking on them all the time and you would sort out your your population problems ...

Haha, can you imagine! We could open a little restaurant selling them. Say we're saving the world and all that

No, I am vegan.....and I love my ants...

Saw these for sale in the shop of the new Zoology museum at Cambridge uni....I just can't be amused!

Eating insects, though, is the way ahead. The Insectarium in Montreal apparently imported 200000 scorpions a few years ago for an Invertebrate eating festival. I think its all in the head. It seems the 3rd world countries are way ahead of this than us. Healthier and more efficient. Might be persuaded at some stage to try them. But the business man in me looks at a bag of these and imagines how much they'd be worth if they had fungus and a load of workers!!! Can't help it!

Haha!

I'm just really glad that I'm vegan!!

I think Leaf Cutters are okay for vegans. All they eat is fungus. No meat anywhere!?
