    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is holding and appearing to eat or taste a large insect, likely a scorpion or large spider, near his mouth. This appears to be part of a survival training exercise, likely conducted jointly with foreign military personnel visible in the background. The setting appears to be an outdoor training area with trees and a building visible.
