This is a death's-head hawkmoth.

They impersonate queen bees to sneak into their hives and steal their honey. They can move about without being disturbed because they mimic the scent of the bees and are not recognized as intruders.

This video is the insect equivalent of a thief being executed at the scene of the crime.

I'd say cooking it and handling it with chopsticks is a strong indication.

I can't tell if I'm mad or happy we didn't witness that part.

Ate some fried ants in China. They looked the big black carpenter ants we have around here and tasted similar to a roasted nut.

Americans love items made in China. Next up it will be their authentic fried bugs.

Maybe he was frying it to kill the scent, so the other bees wouldnt think they need to protect the queen.

Way different. He didn't purge it, had no fixins in the pot, and we don't even know if he dusted it after it came out or not......

I ate a fried cricket in Thailand. It tasted like the salt and chili powder it was cooked in.
