Sir,
As my research suggested;
"The egg cluster generally consists of 60 to 80 eggs that are secured together by a frothy polymer-like substance that the female secretes. Females may lay up to three egg pods. The eggs are 7 to 8 mm in length and are light orange in color."
From that data I would opine that a dozen or so female grasshopper egg secretions would be able to sustain as an omlet, give or take a few?
It would take work though to prepare the eggs after the female has been rendered dead, but it could theoretically be done am sure....by a very highly skilled special operative with a lot of patience, and a hungry stomach needing sustanance in the wild?
