The giant water bug, or Lethocerus indicus, a three-inch-long South Asian insect that looks uncannily like a local cockroach, is just one of the items on the menu of this bug-eating bacchanal.
His eye was alight, his color coppery, his air swagger, devil-may-care, bacchanal.
Might I add, that the audience is no longer hungry. and quite a bit fatter after this week's bacchanal.
To those monumental happenings the annual bacchanal of Carnival, now in full swing, seemed an appropriate backdrop.
