    Not much. It’s mainly just a texture. I think the most flavorful was a type of ant that tasted kind of like a black bean.

    I already tasted a few variations, mainly criquets with different seasoning. The salty, deep fried one, tasted like fries, the sweet ones like caramel covered corn chips. So basically, it doesn’t have a lot of taste, but cool texture.

    I’ve eaten fried grasshoppers and similar insects in SE Asia. They taste like crispy pork to me.

    I had crickets in laos, they tasted kind of like a bean with some good curry spices added.

    I had sushi that was crusted with ants instead of seaweed in Colombia. It tasted a lot like a dark chocolate.

    Once ate a ladybug on a dare when I was a kid.

    Ladybugs are toxic and taste extremely bitter. They taste that way on the way back up, and that taste sticks the fuck around.

    I ate some chocolate-coated crickets once. I’m not sure what they tasted like, but not chocolate. I also tried cornchips made with cricket flour instead of cornmeal. They didn’t taste much of anything.
