I am minutes away from shutting down this computer to pack it away for the long trip to Illinois tomorrow, but before I do that let me point out the New York Times' review of what may well be the most ambitious arthropod exhibit ever: The New Orleans Insectarium.
If any of you have the opportunity to visit the Insectarium, drop me a line as to what you think. I've not had the chance to see it, but I do have several photographs appearing in the displays and am curious about how they look.

The best way to cook a certain kind of caterpillar and make it taste really nice may not be the very best thing to do with a grasshopper. One you might want to parboil, the other one you might want to stir fry. Iâll give you a good example.
Have a safe trip.
