Pest Expert David George Gordon who nominated the larval honey bee in our own Pest or Dinner Contest will be one of the highlights this weekend of the annual Bug Fair at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
You too can learn to cook caterpillars, pillbugs, grasshoppers, larval bees, and other pests that may or may not make an appearance on this blog.
Why spray them with pesticide when you can eat them for dinner?
I’ve got two other events competing for my drive time this weekend, but I am tempted to get buggy nonetheless. With a free pass to just about every science museum in the country and a couple of hours in the car, Frederick and I would have a blast. We’ll see which event wins out.
And while we’re on the topic, I’ll be starting the second contest “Rock Group or Depression Buster?” some time in May. Read the concept at the end of this post. And sorry, but others have already beaten you to “Captain Beefheart” and “Meatloaf” which I will post when the contest opens. Send in your entry at anytime.

Life After Depression
There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill. My 7-year-old son Frederick and I chronicle our adventures at Gill on the Hill when we're not exploring. Frederick posts some of his homeschool projects at "Frankly Frederick."
Thumbs Up for Tempura Tarantula
“I ate tarantula legs.” “And crickets,” Frederick added. We shocked the preschool staff with our account of the Bug Festival. The Bug Festival had many hands-on exhibits – silk worms, giant millipedes, and butterflies. But Frederick kept saying, “I wan…
