Taste good but not worth the cost
The taste was good, texture a little weird, but all around a good try for a novelty item. The amount you get for the cost is really steep but oh well I now know what dried worms taste like.
Thank you for your feedback

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2022
The package arrived partly opened. It comes in a beef jerky type, zip top bag, and the seal at the top was already ripped open. The spider in the little plastic cup inside. The spider was small but looked ok other than a leg was broke off, not a big deal. But I don’t know if I feel comfortable eating something that came in a already opened the package. total waste of money non-returnable. reached out to Amazon support their chat bot replied with it needs to be sent over to the seller who has yet to get back to me.
