Cute! It looks like a Marshmallow Peep with wings.

Well, it is pink, so I’d probably eat it.

Huh, I’ve never seen one of these candy colored moths., and I tend to notice insects much more than most people. Minnesota is the edge of its range. I suppose that means that this summer I will see all sorts of rosy maple moths.

It’s Fluttershy! Wait… why do I know this name?
As for insects: I’d at least try some, if they are sufficiently deep-fried.
Well, pooh. Clearly I need to remember to use the “preview” button, as there’s no edit function here.

Chigau: Yes, that’s generally a good rule of thumb – if an insect is brightly colored or otherwise very easy to see, more often than not it is toxic (and it is using warning coloration to advertise the fact). Particularly if it is also slow-moving and easy to catch.

Has Mary been sucked into the coloring books for grownups fad?

Ah, I see the connection has already been mentioned: the rosy maple moth shares the pink-and-cream coloration of Fluttershy, and so has been enjoying a mild popularity among pony fans.

Funny I see a maidenhair fern with a metazoan on it.
Grubs are a great source of protein. The video reports that a grub farming project is hoping to solve the malnutrition problem which affects one in three children in Cameroon. Eight to ten times as many grubs can be raised in a plastic container with one raffia palm than in the wild where the grubs are difficult to find.

Apparently Cafe Insecta is a very popular part of the NC Museum of Natural Sciences Bugfest. I have to admit, I’ve never had the nerve to try any of the dishes there either. Not even the crickets encased in rock candy on a stick that they sell all year long in the gift shop.
