Things that started out as a catepillar - nope - ain't eating them. Many are poisonous and I don't know enough to tell if one is not. That's how they survive.

Look at the fur coat on that guy. That's what I was talking about being "hairy". Those things are gigantic 'cause nothing wants to eat 'em. That should be a good clue right there.

Oh - I've smelled a stink bug. I can say with authority that it will never be on my menu.
my cousin ate a moth and said it tasted like powdered sugar. at first that surprised me but then i remembered most moths drink a lot of nectar so i suppose it would
I believe it is a polyphemus, but the poor guy was all tatty on the edges. It was quite hairy all over, and I thought about that being less than tasty. I was just curious.
I'd have to be pretty darn hungry to eat it. or maggots.
back to the beetles post, what about locusts. I mean the ones that live in the ground and climb up trees and buzz. they leave empty hulls on the trees when they grow wings. you find these things climbing all over the place in the woods this time of year, and it occurred to me to ask, although i'm a little apprehensive about eating bugs it would be good to know lol
The insects you are talking about are actually cicadas But I have no clue as to their edibility.
Not only edible but quite tasty and a bit of a delicacy around here. When the 17 year ones come out even restaurants get in the act.

Thanks for that link! Actually doesn't sound that bad. You got me thinking about trying some. Dog days are almost over and they'll be going to ground soon. still hear them on hot evenings, but not as much as a few weeks ago.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

Bear Grylls apparently like 'em. What a crazy individual. That is just nasty stuff that I am just not willing to do at this point in life. Hopefully will never need to . Best
