Meal worms are pretty sour tasting, raw anyway. Don't know about cooked. Grasshoppers don't really taste like anything, but are a bit crunchy (leg are the "good" parts). Silk worm cacoons taste like liver when boiled. I don't like those at all. Ants are kind of like rice crispies. Good with chocolate.
ummmm i think im gonna pass on eating bugs... for now. I'm just not that hungry. Think i'll stick to something good... like hot weiners, or those great tasting "dirty water dogs" from the hot dog stand on the side of the street...
Great pics Weebee, I've heard people call them locusts and seventeen year locusts, as well as cicadas. I guess people from different locales have different names for them, but everyone who
has heard their loud noise can relate the same experience.
The first time I saw and heard them was about six years ago in the Roanoke Valley area of NC, they covered a wooded area beside the highway for about 1/4 mile and you could hear them a half mile or more before you get to them.
I guess after 17 years of hibernation or whatever reason they don't come out, they have a short time, and a lot to say. Hehe.

Went through a hatch in Tenn. some years ago. When you drove by a grove of trees you could hear them even with the windows up. They also have a bad habit of lighting on your shoulder, crawling up near your ear and taking off with a real hellish scream!
