Yes, it is alive and a bug

Cicada?

Something nasty. D:

Roach :D

super closeup of half a mealworm? *pssst* that'd still be alive right?

looks like a cocoon to something. im think butterfly type something. not a moth.

Silkworm pupa?

Icygirl guessed what I was gonna guess!

It's definitely a moth / butterfly pupa.

I was going to guess silkworm pupae also. Matt, what do silkworms taste like? ;)

I guessed that because I knew you were raising silkies. I wasn't sure about the pupa phase, so I google-imaged it, and I found all these pics of fried silkworm pupae! Hmmm maybe you could make some up for dinner :D I'd try one!

I once saw Andrew Zimmern eat some fried bees on Bizarre Foods and found myself thinking, hey those don't look too bad... :P

Chicken :P

Alright I tried another one, but it was a little smaller. I was right about remembering grass, but not strait up grass. After they pop in your mouth they dont really have a flavor but after you chew for a little bit the grass part comes in:snake: They are not that bad really

I had a coworker once that had eaten mealworms... now those are gross :(

I'd only eat bugs if they were cooked...

Meal worms are just crunchy. Crickets taste like dirty Socks smell...
