If you think that is bad, you better avoid eating a lot of stuff:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochineal

"The insect produces carminic acid that deters predation by other insects. Carminic acid, which occurs as 17-24% of the weight of the dry insects, can be extracted from the insect's body and eggs and mixed with aluminum or calcium salts to make carmine dye (also known as cochineal).[1] Carmine is today primarily used as a food colouring and for cosmetics" "can be found in meat, sausages, processed poultry products (meat products cannot be coloured in the United States unless they are labeled as such), surimi, marinades, alcoholic drinks, bakery products and toppings, cookies, desserts, icings, pie fillings, jams, preserves, gelatin desserts, juice beverages, varieties of cheddar cheese and other dairy products, sauces, and sweets."

[–]dave_casa 8 points9 points ago

I'm aware of cochineal. Eating foods dyed with a crushed insect is different than eating entire insects which resemble this.

[–]Sklar_Hast 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think that's quite true, as in, they are in no way deadly to humans, however, their bite is apparently extremely painful due to the digestive enzymes their saliva contains.

Came here to say this - we found some on an outdoor hockey rink a year or two back and started carrying them around and playing with them. Once I got home I became curious about what they were, and it was about that time I read about their bite and nearly passed out.

Ooh I love me a good RPG and grew up on the 8 and 16bit mainstream JRPGs, but the whole "gotta catch'em all" mechanic does not incite the fevered, near autistic fixation in me that it does in others.

There ARE games that have incited that level of fixation in me: Diablo2, WoW, TF2, and most recently BF3 -- so please dont think I'm trying to establish superiority to anyone.

[–]chautemoc 0 points1 point ago

That's fine. You could still really enjoy the games without being OCD about it.

Mmmmm BF3.

That's fine. You could still really enjoy the games without being OCD about it.

I'd agree with you about this, but Pokemon seems especially polarizing. Either you "get it" and it consumes your life for a period of time, or you don't get it and never really get the urge to spend time on it.

It's actually two (well technically more but two types) of bugs. The 'bug' is the sand beetle from Papua New Guinea. Pretty harmless yet slightly slimy looking thing native to there. The thingys on top are blood flies. Blood flies infect larger insects like the sand beetle and put their larvae into them. As their lovely children grow they eat the bug from the inside out including taking nutrients from the blood (thus their name). Each one of those sacks is a blood fly in the making as they slowly eat the sand beetle from the inside out.

Wonder how many of you are thinking of those eggs in your skin.

Have fun with that.

We had set traps for small fish in a pond for a study. Every trap that had fish in it had one of these guys as well. All the fish were dead. Sucked dry. Mere husks of fish.

No giant mandibles, and no visible stinger. This guy just got upgraded from "kill it to death, now" to "ugly, but apparently harmless. You get to live."

those things swim fast & they're smart for a bug. we found one in my friends swimming pool & tried to catch it (they bite!). 4 kids couldn't even get close. it finally lured us all to one end and zipped back to the other end, crawled out and flew away.

It looks like a small aquatic bug that has a full payload of heavy grade missiles on its back. Some other bugs try to fuck him up? Nope, bug nuked.
