Rosie is a Chilean Rose Hound tarantula and the genius marketing tactic of the Entomology Department. I took a few other photos that aren't posted of a student named John Nakoneczny, who, when I asked his major, said "Microbiology but soon to be Entomology."
high fives all around the entomology table!
So, like a good journalist, I consulted Wikipedia for more info on the crawly-bit. One thing led to another:
"These fist-sized arachnids are crunchy on the outside and taste like cold, gooey chicken on the inside." -TIME
"Fried spiders taste like nuts." -University of Nebraska webzine
"They taste a bit like crickets, only better." - Frizz Restaurant, Cambodia
Not saying that entomology majors eat their lab experiments. But, like, they could.
