New Zealand duo Eat Crawlers make all kinds of edible goodies from cricket-flour pasta to teriyaki mealworms.

Did you know 80 per cent of the world already eats insects as part of their regular diet? (And we’re not talking about the spiders that supposedly creep down our gullets while we sleep.) Bugs like crickets, locusts, tarantulas and ants are super-high in protein and iron, and require way fewer resources to farm than meat – which is where New Zealand duo Eat Crawlers comes in. They make all kinds of edible goodies from cricket-flour pasta to teriyaki mealworms and this here scorpion lollipop, and the full range is available at eatcrawlers.co.nz if you’re game to take a peek.
