Unknown insects on a stick in China

It didn't take long (1/2 a day) and we were faced with a few choices of gourmet foods in Beijing. Amongst the choices were scorpions, crickets, squid, some butterfly larvae (or at least they looked like it) and the insect as pictured below. It actually was not too bad with the taste being a bit salty and dry. As you can imagine, there is not much meat in these things, so a full dinner with chicken and rice (mee-fan) had to follow. :)

Hi guys,

WOW - you really are on the road now! And of yourse you had to eat bugs as soon as your feet touched Chinese ground! I hope that the next months will be exactely as you hope them to be. Take care of yourselves and see you soon. But no longer in Dublin - I applied in Hamburg last week :-)

All the best
