Well here is a half moth that I once got in a prepackaged salad I bought once
Prepackaged leafy greens are the worst offenders for quality control issues by far
I worked in a restaurant that purchased local produce. One day a guest sent back a salad because it had a butterfly in it. That bastard had submerged in water for 30 minutes, rinsed and run 3 through a salad spinner three times, then refrigerated for about 2 hours. Yet there it was, covered in dressing and still fucking alive.
Greens are kind of a mine field. Bugs love them and lots of them are specifically designed to hide and live within them. Let's not even get into e. Coli.
Sensitive to moisture, temperature, crushing, short shelf life, can’t really pasteurize, and most commonly eaten raw. Bugs can be gross but the most potent threat is bacteria!
Where's the other half?
Looks like a cicada
