Yup, that's cricket, the insect.  FYI for those who are too squeamish to try this recipe, crickets are clean and they are nutritious (a good source of protein).  I haven't tried this because I don't bake and I have no time to catch crickets, but this recipe sounds yummy enough.

   2 1/4 cup flour
   1 tsp. baking soda
   1 tsp. salt
   1 cup butter, softened
   3/4 cup sugar
   3/4 cup brown sugar
   1 tsp. vanilla
   2 eggs
   1 12-ounce chocolate chips
   1 cup chopped nuts
   1/2 cup dry-roasted crickets

Preheat oven to 375. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture and insects, mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded measuring teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
