A <Tiddee = locust> is very much close to a cricket (Jheenghar) and it is not only eaten in some regions of Indo-Pak but also the Middle East people eat locusts.

In Pakistan people of Thar uses Tiddee as a delicacy.

i remember, when a swarm of locusts would attack our fields, villagers would try to catch them by throwing nets over them and afterwards they would roast them and eat…i was/am always repulsed by the idea of eating bugs.
