A man has claimed to be able to spot when a bell pepper is full of bugs. Insect enthusiast Corran regularly shares images and photos relating to invertebrates, including moths and scorpions.
But his latest TikTok video is causing a stir, after Corran allegedly found some bugs in an unlikely place—inside his next meal.
While holding a juicy red bell pepper, Corran explains: "Sometimes I buy food that I know has bugs inside it. And you're thinking, how do you know? So I'm going to prove it. Honestly, I picked up this pepper knowing that it had bugs in it because I saw black discoloration in the middle."
