Huhu Grub Finger Puppets - Day 51

Yummy??
Huhu bugs are native to NZ and live a rather simple life, as grubs in fallen tree trunks, then a glorious 2 weeks as a free flying beetle. The most popular thing about them here, is that the grubs are eatable, and often are served at food festivals (though, it does tend to be a 'dare you to eat it' cuisine! tastes like peanut butter)

Mine dont taste much like Peanut butter though!!
They are a set of crochet huhu grubs for a new set I'm making.
Next, a dark tree log for them to hide in...

    Love your grubs! How could anyone eat them with faces like that! :-]
    Keep up the great work...and the 365 mission.
    Good Day to you.

    I'm so relieved that yours aren't yummy. Cute, though.

    Peanut butter, really?

    Could use yours for flossing after eating the real thing hehe. All would be considered gluten-free, very healthy. An uncle had to eat the real thing for survival training when in the army, preferred them cooked.
    On a serious level though, you are amazing for finding inspiration - a really cool idea.
