Eating spiders doesn’t seem all that nutritious but locusts have been on the menu in parts of the world for a long time. I’ve heard there are expectations of swarms this year, or soon, so maybe eat a lot of grasshoppers, and save crops at the same time.

robro @8 I don’t know man. I googled “how do they eat spiders around the world”.
Looks like spiders are a snack or a delicacy. Insects are more a staple I guess…
@10 yup, PZ, you’re going to have to switch to spiders with more meat in their torsos. It can also be a reason to demand more lab space and a big electrified fence like in Jurassic Park.

Coated in enough chocolate you might not even notice the spider part (or parts).

JimB @ #9 I didn’t say spiders weren’t eaten, just not very nutritious. Locust on the other hand…now that’s something you can sink your teeth into.
