Horrified onlookers reported feeling "Butterflies in the stomach"

Dried caterpillars found in luggage at Gatwick Airport

A haul of dried caterpillars has been seized at Gatwick Airport during a luggage check.
A 22-year-old man travelling from Burkina Faso via Istanbul was stopped on Saturday with 94kg (207lb) of dried caterpillars in four hessian bags.
The man claimed the tens of thousands of caterpillars were to be used as food and were for personal consumption.

The real disappointment here is the absence of any recipes.
Title stoled from a BB commenter.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was not an apex predator.

The insects are to be destroyed, the force said.

I am overwhelmed by the many places I could go with that comment...

The next sequel to the Human Caterpillar looks to be disappointing.

Just market them as Ougadougou bangers and they'll sell like hotcakes.
