Not sure I would try to eat those, but if anybody on this forum has, VG would be my bet. When he gets on, you should have a full description and history of the evolution of said bug!

Im with Wilson, never ever would I fish with one of those things. In fact, I would run screaming like a girl if one even touched me. In fact... I might just have in the past.
