Is it organic or mineral?

Does it contain iron?

Iron containing ore.

I prefer only yes or no questions, so as not to give it away. I will say that it is organic.
No, to the dead dog, although, I do see how it could easily be mistaken for one.
Nope to the raisin. I think that they may be eaten like raisins in some third world countries though.

Is it from the insect world?

Is it the "scat" or "droppings" of a mammal?

Is it the droppings of another creature besides a mammal?

Is it fruit in origin?

Is it a plant in origin?

Is it grown for food?

Yes, it is from the insect world. Not droppings. Not fruit or vegetable; in origin either. It is not grown specifically for food, but could be.

In Mexico, grasshoppers and other edible insects are sold by the pound in village markets and are fried before being eaten. Many are sold in cans as fried grasshoppers, chocolate covered ants, etc. Tortillas are served with red and white agave worms in many Mexico city restaurants.
Columbian citizens enjoy eating a variety of insects such as termites, palm grubs and ants. Ants are ground up and used as a spread on breads.
Popular insects eaten in the Phillippines are June beetles, grasshoppers, ants, mole crickets, water beetles, katydids, locusts and dragonfly larvae. They can be fried, broiled or sauteed with vegetables.
In parts of Africa, ants, termites, beetle grubs, caterpillars and grasshoppers are eaten. Some insects such as termites are eaten raw soon after catching, while others are baked or fried before eating.
The giant waterbug roasted and eaten whole is a favorite food in Asia. It is easily collected around lights at night around bodies of water.
Sago grubs are popular for cooks in Papua New Guinea, most often boiled or roasted over an open fire.
Other edible insects eaten in this country include larvae of moths, wasps, butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, adult grasshoppers, cicadas, stick insects, moths and crickets.



Is it one of the above?


Wikipedia is my friend.

You were dead on!! It's a hornet/wasp nest. My son brought it home for me yesterday. He thought that I might like to take some photographs of it. It ended up coming in handy.

Great Job JoJo!!
