I tend to prefer to “save” bugs by letting them loose outside rather than getting out the vacuum or letting the cats kill them, but fucking silverfish, man. They have like no structural integrity. No matter how gently I try to handle them, I always end up with a silver stripe in their place by the end.

Speaking of bugs:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-archer-daniels-innovafeed-insects/adm-innovafeed-to-build-worlds-biggest-insect-protein-plant-in-illinois-idUKKBN28001C

The plant will produce 60,000 tonnes of animal feed protein annually from Hermetia Illucens, a highly nutritional type of fly, along with 20,000 tonnes of oils for poultry and swine rations and 400,000 tonnes of fertilizer, the companies said in a release.

Cool!
We got some human food from these folks a few years ago:


They’re local, but they get the product from afar. We got some of the crickets, different flavors. It was okay but I think just too processed or something for my taste.
I’ve tried a few different insect dishes over the years and liked them fine. They were all freshly prepared, though.
But it’s cool to see insect protein even become part of the mainstream USian conversation within my lifetime.

Spoiler: pupper and owner are fine, and the owner doesn’t want the alligator removed or killed.

No word on the cigar the guy was chomping the entire time. I’m guessing it was a lost cause.

Florida man has turned over a new leaf! Just as much derring-do but now, with heroic overtones. :slight_smile:
