Insects as food is not a new idea. In the Old Testament’s book of Leviticus a list of permissible foods is given; insects including, locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers are included. Earlier still, the Romans and Greeks were known to dine on beetle larvae and Aristotle wrote about the best ways of harvesting cicadas to eat. While in some countries the tradition has continued, with the large scale agricultural revolution of the West, insects have transformed from food to foe., What was seen as a tasty morsel has metamorphosed in many a society’s imagination intoas something that is dirty and disease carrying; an unwanted pest.
