Not only can some people identify insects, but they also know exactly where they like to hide and what they like to eat

I tried taco seasoned crickets once

I was disappointingly not a fan, really grainy

No. Seems pointless when I can get enough protein from plants.

Honestly looks gross. That's like 90% exoskeleton. I'd rather eat larvae.

I like ants. I ate some when I was four and they were surprisingly tasty.

Nah, the idea kind of creeps me out and it's pointless for me since I have easy access to other sources of protein.

I've had roasted crickets but I would consider bugs a snack rather than a source of protein. Maybe it's cause of their size, I feel you'd have to eat a lot of bugs. Or if they discovered a giant bug that they could raise like livestock and tasted like bacon.

There are substantially large bugs like the Goliath beetle that are much bigger than other things we eat all the time like shrimp, clams, scallops, eggs, etc.

No.

I get it that they're rich on proteins, but I could never eat one.

Is it edible and tasty though? Can it be mass produced for consumption? That's the question.

Locusts are pretty edible. They aren't great by any means, but I've eaten them a few times and I wouldn't turn them down if offered again.

I heard that they all taste the same or close to each other. Like how there's not a substantial difference between chicken and turkey or cattle and bison. As for mass farming these specifically I believe a lot of them end up dying in the larval stage so I don't know if it's realistic to farm. I know other livestock also have high mortality but maybe something is especially hard about these? IDK.

With crickets it's cheap as hell so even if it's not efficient you have good enough profit margins to make it worth it.

Tried it as a curiosity once. I went to a Mariners game a few years back. They had toasted grasshoppers. Me and my friends gave it a try. It was basically eating something crispy in the shape of a grasshopper.

In middle school the science teacher would fry grasshoppers and then dip them in chocolate. Most of the class was willing to eat them. Just tasted like crunchy chocolate.

I think at one point in the past I also tried like sour cream and onion crickets that they had at a novelty candy shop. Mostly just tasted like sour cream and onion.

I ate ants as well. The same age. The black ones were terrible, but the yellow ones tasted lemony.
