Has anyone attempted to freeze or can their excess insects? I know pet shops stock canned insects and I remember reading in Danny's book that migratory moths can be frozen. How would one go about canning insects? Are they much different from their live counterparts in terms of nutrition?
I have an opportunity to gather many grapevine caterpillars but despite my having quite a few lizards, they can't eat them all, and the caterpillars don't particularly last long in captivity, as well as I don't have inexhaustible supplies of grapevine leaves.
I might experiment with this a bit and see if I can work something out, at least until the caterpillar season is over.
