This one is really iteresting. Witchetty grub is a creepy-crawly that you get on the ground - homing on the roots of a dead tree (as far as I know). It's a food in the outback Australia. But you can get it from your local supermarket - although I haven't seen any in our shops here. It is sought for being high in protein ( not reallyglucosamine sulphate)
Back in the Philippines, I saw people eating them raw also. But I think what we have there was the queen of the termite colony.
