Witchities

This one is for the people back home. These are lollies made as Witchity Grubs. Now is a Witchity Grub a thing native to New Zealand or is a Witchity Grub an internationally located insect? And what is the definition of insect exactly? Do they need 6 legs to be an insect? Are spiders insects? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insects. According to Wikipedia an insect has 3 pair of matching legs, so a spider with 8 legs cannot be an insect then. And what is a Witchity Grub aside for an icky grubby things that I often heard of but don't ever recall seeing in my childhood. Let's find out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchetty_Grub. So they are known in Australia and they eat wood and are an important part of the diet in central Australia. Interesting. Here in the big city, they are made of sugar and don't do much nutritiously for you, but taste dam fine according to the shop assistant where I took this photo. Long Live the Witchity Grub.
