This paper reports for the first time the bacterial distribution on Gryllotalpa africana, a mole cricket and one of the edible hexapods of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Children hunt it during the rainy and also at dry seasons and it is harvested as snacks in the rural settings of the region. It is eaten raw, boiled, fried or roasted along with other condiments including onions and pepper. It is a delicacy enjoyed in many other parts of Nigeria. Assessments were made to identify bacteria that are associated with different external structures of the edible mole cricket.
