I have it on video at my YT channel: youtube.com/thaipulsedotcom if you want to see me eat them. I wouldn't call them delicious - but, they aren't horrible either... well, for the most part. It's funny but, I had to draw the line at water bugs... your top picture - a group of 3, in the lower right side - the dark ones... they were small and there was just something about them that I couldn't stomach. I think everyone should experience eating at least grasshoppers or crickets. They have lots of protein, and, if we're ever in a nuclear winter - you might NEED to eat some bugs to survive... why not give it a go? Great article and the best photos I've seen of all sorts of bugs!. I’m living in Thailand where I’ve eaten a number of insects, a scorpion, and some silkworms.
