Have you ever looked at an ant and wondered what it would taste like? When I watch my cat eat outside, she won't come close to eating an ant. She will eat a lizard or a mouse but not an ant. People say that some bugs are good to eat, but ants are not one of them.
Back in the sixth grade, a kid came to school with some chocolate covered ants. It just grossed us out. He said they tasted pretty good. We told him to prove it, so he ate one. He didn't throw up, so on a dare I decided to give it a try. One bite? Just chocolate. Two bites? Just chocolate. Then, I put the rest of the piece of chocolate in my mouth and bit down. I felt a "crunch". That was the ant. It sort of felt like I was biting into a piece of potato chip covered in chocolate. I swallowed it pretty quickly. The other kids laughed, but I didn't throw up.
Years later, I lived in a bug-infested apartment. I would wake up in the middle of the night with a moth in my mouth. I don't think I ever ate a moth during the night, but I am pretty sure it would have been crunchy too.
