Oh, you eat bugs. You just don't know it.

There's definitely a difference though. Only water bugs will kill me if eaten

It's all about presentation. I can prep crickets in a way that almost anyone will eat them. Feed them oatmeal for a few days, then slow roast, powder in a blender, combine with sesame oil, salt, and spices, stuff it into wonton wrappers and steam. If nobody knows what's in them they disappear. But if I do fried crickets like the ones the Korean street vendors sell, very few non-Asians would touch them.

A lot of insects can be prepared using familiar presentations and the unsuspecting will devour them. I found ant cookies delicious - like a molasses cookie. And ground rolly-pollies (sowbug/pillbug/armadillium) could be used to make shrimp shumai and nobody would be the wiser.

Chocolate covered giant ants are lovely! Sold in Selfridges (UK).

Well to be fair, land bugs have harder shell, and are therefore more uncomfortable to eat.
