Yes, i've been watching that story.
The experts believe it belongs to the Texas Blue Eyed Catfish.

Probably what was left over, after that alien was attached by a South Beach Cannibal.

Good question...
Only speculation so far and by the time it
is known for sure I doubt the news will follow up.
One speculation was that it was an allergic reaction.
The bugs are full of foul stuff that in large amounts
could trigger a reaction not too different than
peanut allergy or a bee sting.
So perhaps he got a big bag of bad ones
not just one.
Eating bugs is common, but roaches not so much
because they build up toxic crud. Eating them in a
contest could be nasty....

That is the most grotesque thing I've read about in a long time. I can only conclude that the winner of that contest got what he wanted from it.

Florida also has this guy;
Tim Dorsey
His novels are hilarious and his Florida factoids as narrated by his main character, Serge A Storms, are fascinating.

Miami Beach, the Keys, Disney World, spring break destinations (I've been to several in FL during college), gators... there's a lot to still enjoy in La Florida. When Disney starts promoting those eating insect contests -- that's when you make a run for the plains of Texas.

Who can afford Disney these days, sad to say. Even the water parks are over priced.
Once the boy gets a job that can support a family, I'm headed to Texas; gonna take pictures on the road with Wullie.
Maybe buy one of those abandoned buildings.
