Yeah...makes me think of a type of locust....
Often at certain times of year there are locust swarms. Right time of year when they're breeding...and by a highway, and you drive through...with normal locust types..yuck. Imagine a swarm of these? You'd clock up a carwash trying to clean up! I won't even think of taking one of these to my forehead while riding the Harley.

Hitting that thing might knock you off the Harley! The gentleman holding that thing is brave.

Cruisin down the road without a face shield and catch one of those in the teeth!

Or in the eye! You could just about throw that rascal on the barbie for a full meal! (I have eaten worse...

)

I have thought about how brave (or stupid!

) the 1st person to pick up an unknown bug or what ever, or better yet the 1st to eat something! Hhhhmmm, that bug looks like it would be tasty! Oh no! Why is my heart beating faster and my throat tightening up...
