Stefan Gates is on a mission to meet the people in Thailand and Cambodia that hunt, eat and sell edible insects for a living. But nothing quite prepares him for bug farming on this terrifying scale, from stalking grasshoppers at night to catching fiercely biting ants. And it’s not just insects on the menu. Stefan also goes hunting for one of the most notorious spiders on the planet, the tarantula. Stefan asks if the solution is for everyone, the British included, to start eating insects too.
