"Bamboo Caterpillars" from Thailand

Bamboo Caterpillars from Thailand

A colleague was walking around the office with a jar of these "bamboo caterpillars" today, presumably in part for the shock value. They weren't that weird though; as with most fried bugs, they were basically just salt and grease with a bit of nuttiness. If I were blindfolded, I probably would've thought that they were some kind of fried beans or something. Are these basically the same mealworms that you feed to pet birds and reptiles?
