    A close-up photograph of a split bamboo or wooden vessel containing what appears to be cooked or prepared insects, likely grubs or larvae. The container is partially open, revealing the dark, clustered contents inside. The image is taken in low-light conditions with a shallow depth of field, giving it a dramatic, moody aesthetic.

    A bamboo chute, housing cooked insects, is passed around for the Marines and Sailors of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit's Maritime Raid Force during a jungle survival class taught by Royal Thai Marines as a part of Cobra Gold 2013 here, Feb. 20. The class detailed ways to find direction in the jungle, how to identify edible plants and animals, and how to prepare food fit to eat. Cobra Gold demonstrates the resolve of the U.S. and participating nations to increase interoperability, and promote security and peace throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and is the Marine Corps’ force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region.

    A large group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are gathered outdoors under tree cover, posing behind an extensive display of tropical fruits and vegetables laid out on the ground. The scene appears to be a jungle survival training or cultural exchange event, given the variety of local produce including pineapples, bananas, jackfruit, dragon fruit, papayas, and various root vegetables. The setting appears to be in a tropical region based on the vegetation and fruit varieties present.
    A soldier in camouflage uniform is biting into a green coconut while holding a military knife/bayonet in the same hand. The setting appears to be an outdoor jungle survival training demonstration, with observers and photographers visible in the background. The soldier's strained facial expression suggests he is applying significant force to open or drink from the coconut.

    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are participating in what appears to be a jungle survival training exercise. A snake is being held over a person's mouth, consistent with documented military survival training practices where participants drink snake blood as part of wilderness survival instruction. Multiple individuals in military fatigues are present and observing.
    A group of military personnel in various camouflage uniforms are gathered outdoors in a wooded area. A female soldier in USMC MARPAT digital camouflage is handling a live snake, appearing to be part of a jungle survival training exercise. Personnel from what appear to be multiple nations are present, observing and assisting.
    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is examining or about to consume a small object, likely during a survival training exercise. His name tape reads 'UNDTREE' (partially visible, likely 'LUNDTREE' or similar) and 'U.S. MARINES' is visible on his chest. He is outdoors in a wooded/jungle environment with green foliage in the background.
    A U.S. Marine in digital camouflage (MARPAT) uniform is squeezing liquid from a small food item into his open mouth during what appears to be a field training exercise or jungle survival course.
