It is not a good idea to eat bugs, at least that are whole bugs. Humans do not have a chitinase, an enzyme that breaks down the chitin which is what the crunchy outside shell of the bugs are made from.

Kids in Africa will gather around streetlights and gulp down grasshoppers/locust that are swarming. If they eat too many they can get the legs caught in their intestines.

But if Mooschelle wants to fillet out some cockroaches and stir them up with some garlic butter......go right ahead. She will get fatter!! Bugs have a lot of fat especially the ones ripe with eggs ready to lay.

There are a lot of good bugs, so don't kill them all. But you need to spend 24 years in school learning which are good and which are bad. It was fun but I wouldn't do it again.

The only bugs I kill are the ants & wasps that get into the house.

We had a grub infestation sometime back but I used milk spore to combat them.

I believe it's the same material as crab and shrimp shells. The issue is resolvable via deep frying. I suspect the real practical application is for deep space travel.
