God approves.

Leviticus 11:20-23
“All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you. There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean."

Still, I'm not going to eat bugs.

Basically, clean bugs tend to draw their nutrition from plant sources. All other bugs tend to be carnivorous or scavengers

I don't know of any insects that walk on 4 legs. I think six is the number that qualifies an insect as...well...an insect.

Plus, Katydids and grasshoppers both have six.

Of course, as we all know...Katy lied. Donald Fagan told me so.

Katydid but I wouldn’t.

“But all other flying insects that have four legs ...”

Insects have six legs.

Well, I guess I’m good, then. I unknowingly ate cricket legs (a delicacy!) in salad at a wedding feast in Cambodia. It was getting dark and I could not see them.

But I never sampled “Cambodian popcorn” — kids would run around catching those giant flying cockroaches, tear the legs off them, and when the pile of legless bugs got large enough, granny would fry them up for the kiddies.

Nor did I try the famous fried “bird spider” tarantulas in Skuon:

In neighboring Thailand, you can get scorpion-on-a-stick:

I used to smash a bunch of those black devils early every morning with my trusty broom. Gee, what was I thinking? I coulda had a free breakfast!

Eww. Looks like they left the legs on the giant cockroaches. How nasty. By the way, those things eat their dead. Yep. Cannibals. You smash one and more come out and together carry away the body — looks so weird, like cockroach pallbearers. They make big poops, for a bug, too, and stinky :(

I suppose the other two are considered arms, as they are used for carrying things.
