Hello Dan...

They get little white "thingies" behind the rear legs and under the wings
sometimes.

to relish them.

My reply:

Nightcrawlers are better.   Now these things(earth worms and
nightcrawlers) definately pick up the taste of what they have been
eating.   I suppos eI should mention that you "clean" worms before eating
them.  Snip one end and squeeze the yuck out like you do toothpaste.  The
snip the outher end out.  In effect you have a hollow tube that can be
easily rinsed out.   

Unfortunately I have yet to figure out a humane way to kill them as
anything I have tried seems to produce anguish.  

A couple of times in my life I put my backpack on and wandered out into
th ewiderness for 3-6 months at a time.   You simply cannot carry enough
food with you and so you get an appreciation for anything that hops or
crawls.
