out insectsEver looked at a six-legged creature and thought of dinner? A program by “bug chef” Zack Lemann will explore the possibilities at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, at The Village Green Commons in Cashiers.

“Bug Apetit — a tasteful discussion about insects” will cover bugs’ importance for the environment, pest control and as food. Nearly one-third of people worldwide incorporate bugs into their diet, and the creatures are as at least as nutritious as meat. 

Lemann, who has appeared on shows ranging from The Food Network to Animal Planet, will share his knowledge and his bug-cooking skills — guests should bring their appetites. 

The program is part of the free summer Village Nature Series, sponsored by the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust and The Village Green. 828.526.1111.
