I have eaten lobster and crab so yes

Whomst among us hasn’t eaten a few ants as a kid? Suprisingly a little spicy

I’ve had roasted cricket tacos in Mexico before, and they’re fantastic. They have a great crunch.

Yes and yes and I would eat more if my wife didn’t threaten to leave me if I started farming them.

Edit: accepting tips from anyone who has experience hiding entomophagy from one’s spouse.

Chapulines (fried crickets) in a taco in Mexico. They were pretty good, but almost every taco at that place was amazing, so maybe it’s more about the person making the tacos than the actual filling.

Intentionally? No.
Statistically? Probably.

An ant as kid was acidic as expected, as i remember

A girl I was in love with in the 3rd grade ate ants so naturally to be cool so did I.

Crickets are fine. Also just accidentally caught a fly in my throat the other day while cycling. That was less fine.

When I was really young I was at someone else’s house, there were these tiny little bugs that crawled up the wall, and I just, for seemingly no reason other than curiosity, grabbed them and put them in my mouth. They started tasting bad after a while, kinda like charcoal, but for some reason I couldn’t stop, I just kept putting the bugs in my mouth.

not on purpose, but I spend enough time outside that it’s inevitable. better they fly in my mouth than my nose though, that’s the worst

we stopped at a weird candy store on a road trip a few years ago and found a bunch of bug candy but didn’t try any

they also had a lot of bulk candies, from old fashioned stuff to jelly bellys, niche snacks from different parts of the country, and the largest variety of dried vegetation and flesh I’ve ever seen. it was horrifyingly fascinating.

they were trying to push like cricket sausage & similar stuff where i’m from some years back. it wasn’t exactly horrible & i’m all for the concept but sadly the texture was a deal breaker for me. it was like v powdery & dry.

beyond that i was the class clown so naturally i’d devour whatever crawlies i could find around the yard

no because i am a proud american conservative patriot and when joe biden knocked on my door and said “hi i am joe biden i use he/they pronouns. you must eat the bug because i am stupid liberal” i told him “nuh uh” and then went back to reading the bible

I’ve had some dried I-dunno-what with paprika at a bar and it was nice

one time when I was riding my bike a bug flew into my mouth and I swallowed it
