Those two shield bugs mating are a delicacy where I come from in Zimbabwe. Known as hururwa.
They only breed in a certain small area near Bikita, and the chief determines when they can be harvested, in an effort to protect them from over-exploitation.
Their urine is super acidic and can cause bad burns to hands, so they are normally popped straight into a bowl of water to dilute the pee, then they are lightly roasted.
Taste a bit like roast pistachios.

This must be doubly disturbing for a people desperately in need of calm and familiar surroundings. I just can't fathom the lack of empathy in that decision.
It happened in the 2nd world war also, with refugees from Poland being sent to Tanzania, Zimbabwe, India, Iran amongst other incongruous destinations - one of their cemeteries is in Marondera (then Marandellas), not far from where I grew up just outside Harare.

This deserves a whole heap of protest, it just isn't right.

'Prevent 19% decrease in your flock weight gain' - nice jumble of conflicting words.
