Man Eating Bugs: The Art and Science of Eating Insects book image

You Zhiming, a young scorpion salesman, allows a scorpion to climb up his arm as a woman and her son choose scorpions for dinner in Guangzhou China's, Qing Ping Market. Scorpions are used as both food and traditional Chinese medicine. They are in such demand —often raised domestically by Chinese entrepreneurs. They taste a bit like sautéed twigs.
