Salluz
Aspiring Man of God
I always wonder and am amazed how John the Baptist ate locusts and wild honey for his food!
I love the sound that crickets make...couldnt eat them. In 2016 the locusts came out of the ground here...they are ugly! Dont know if I could eat one...even dipped in honey or chocolate!
The cicadas in the US that we call locusts are not actually locusts. Locusts are a type of swarming grasshopper. The US variety (actually a cicada) would not be kosher. The key was the hopping and segmented legs.
Lev. 11
20“All winged insects that go on all fours are detestable to you. 21Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to hop on the ground. 22Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind. 23 But all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable to you.
