Did feminism take hold of this species of locust? When I lived in Japan, rice locust were gathered, marinated in a soy oil and sold in trays in the supermarket. It was a nice sidedish rich in protein. They didn't taste too bad either once you got over the idea of eating insects.
November was the peak season for gathering. The Japanese had a way of baiting and setting traps so they more or less gathered themselves.
I’d have to awfully hungry........
