Imagine an ordinary garden sowbug, the size of your little fingernail, blown up to the size of a football: 12.8 inches long, 2.2 pounds (https://nypost.com/2025/01/15/science/massive-new-bug-species-is-so-horrifying-its-been-named-after-darth-vader/).
These newly-discovered critters live on the bottom of the sea. Supposedly there’s another kind down there that was 5.7 pounds. They live off the coast of Viet Nam.
Now imagine eating one. They’ve suddenly become a hot item on the Vietnamese menu.
Maybe it’s like lobster. Or nice blueclaw crabs. Imagine the first human being who tried eating lobster. Did that take courage, or what? (James Michener thought so.)
God’s creation takes surprising forms; and some of them are edible.
