I've got an idea that's crazy, but sometimes crazy works.

Me too.

Are they Kosher?

Are they Kosher?

Stranger questions have been asked by saner people:

While the consumption of most insects is considered to be forbidden under the laws of kashrut, the rabbis of the Talmud identified four kosher species of locusts. However, the identity of those species is in dispute....

"Every flying insect that uses four legs for walking shall be avoided by you. The only flying insects with four walking legs you may eat are those with knees extending above their feet, [using these longer legs] to hop on the ground. Among these you may only eat members of the red locust family, the yellow locust family, the spotted gray locust family and the white locust family. All other flying insects with four feet [for walking] must be avoided by you." –Leviticus 11:20-23
-- Wikipedia entry for Kosher locust
