Wow even though I removed the picture myself, photobucket deleted seizure spider anyway, apparently it was a violation of terms of service. :icon14:

Bit of a stretch from bugs but:

Their actually not that much of a stretch as most all bugs and crabs are related (Their all Arthropoda) hence why some spiders sorta taste like crab.

Great thread I luv bugs. :tup:

There are some restaurants in singapore that use coconut crabs in their famous chili crab dish. Very tasty :tup:

Aside from a spider hiding in my water bottle straw and me slurping it up, I've never ate a spider so I don't know what they taste like...

What spider did you eat?

(I used to be arachniphobic... This just gave me the chills)

At least this is a myth.

snopes.com: Spiders Swallowed Per Year

LOL! As much as I agree with that, fans of chocolate candy will find that there is an "acceptable amount" of bugs and feces in chocolate. Sick but true. I don't eat chocolate all that often, but I always try to forget that fact.

^The Disinformation Book Of Lists by Russ Kick just one of the things listed.
One of the greatest books I've ever owned.

I've alway loved Ant Lions! They remind me of the ear bugs in "The Wrath of Khan" KHANNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't get any frame of reference for how big it is, but I do know it's neither ant nor lion.
