Insects in the Kitchen

I visited Diane at Food, Fun and Life in The Charente. Saw her amazing collection of all sorts of creeping things. I showed the blog at home and they got excited about taking photographs of insects too and posting them. So we got busy Sunday afternoon and finished in the evening laughing and screaming too. We made anything with  everything in the fridge that day. I found out long ago how to make the children eat insects and enjoy them too. I mean vegetables, of course. Here are some of the selected ones we made.

Here ia a ferocious tarantula eying a red tomato!

Spotted a green frog and took the picture straightaway before it disappeared into the rainforest outside.

This is where someone screamed when the rhinoceros beetle was seen trying to carry away the sweet potato.

A candid shot of a pair of amorous slugs slithering away on the dining table.

A rare butterfly of pomegranate color perched on my favorite tea cup.

This tarantula is nocturnal and thought the ripe pomelo was the moon.

An albino caterpillar inching its way to the cupboard. It is as white as a daikon radish!

A more colorful one but never knowing which is the head or the tail with so many eyes!

A woodworm that looks like fresh turmeric trying in vain to chew on my olive wood chopping board.

This clever praying mantis is posing as a harmless radish!

Didn't want to serve you the insects so I carved these delicious apples for you. Enjoy!
