Breadbug

So, I was looking for a subject to waste my first post on, and stumbled across an interesting image in my collection of photos from 2013.

Warning; the following post contains graphic imagery that may be disturbing to some readers.

The Breadbug

This is a large, possibly vespid-type bug thing that I discovered at the bottom of a loaf of stone-ground, traditionally wood-fired-oven-baked sourdough bread. Evidently the bakery was traditional enough in its execution that it included bugs (as humanity has been doing for thousands of years until the invention of indoor ovens... presumably).

In retrospect, I should've put a quarter in this picture because this thing was huge.

I discovered it around the 20th of September, 2013, and it proceeded to stay on the dining room table like a trophy or precious specimen for a number of days, until my family finally decided it wasn't worth it to bother with contacting the bakery about the surprise in one of their loaves.

King for a day!!

I have yet to identify just what species the corpse belonged to. Finding the head would've been helpful...



P.S.
I never found its head...

P.P.S.
I'd already eaten the slice that corresponded to where its head would have been...
