JOHANNESBURG The Johannesburg Zoo on Sunday held its annual insect exhibition where members of the public not only got to view creepy-crawlies, but also to eat them. A big attraction was the outdoor barbecue, which boasted everything from fried termites coated in chocolate to Mopani worm hamburgers. The chocolate termites went down well with the youngsters and there were takers for the Mopani worms, which are thick brown worms found in South Africa's northern province Bushveld. (Reuter)
