From crunchy cricket chips to nutty black soldier fly grubs, Edible Insects leaps across cultural and culinary boundaries to explore the insect food industry and how it could benefit our health and our warming planet.

So will your kitchen table soon host its very own savory insect feast?

Watch it on NOVA, tonight at 9pm on GBH 2.
