The first time I read the name on the menu in a restaurant I was really curious about this. What is this? Australians actually eat bugs? What kind of bugs? Then I saw that it had nothing to do with the terrestrial bugs I knew. Actually the name is short for Moreton Bay Bug. They are very strange creatures, a bit like lobsters but with no head or rather a flat head. They look rather prehistorical to me. Once cooked on the barbecue their flesh and taste are heavenly. Better than lobsters in my opinion. Here you can see them in my sink before I cook them...
