Is the section on "cheo" accurate?

>They also are commonly eaten in Laos, and are regarded as delicious due to their extremely strong odor. Source? --Cheap-stock-photos (talk) 11:48, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The insects are sometimes pounded together with spices and a seasoning to prepare cheo, a paste mixed with chilies and herbs. -- I have not found any references to support this, other than ones obviously cribbed from this page. I have found recipes for cheo but the ingredients are spices, herbs, river weed, and finely slices pork or water buffalo skin. This paragraph should be removed if there's no references to back it up. -- Resuna (talk) 20:27, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of how it arrived in North America

This article describes the serious attacks of these insects on certain crops in North America, but does not provide any context about its recent arrival and massive propagation due to the lack of any natural predators (which do exist in its natural environments).
