      I hate to break it to people, but this universe is the one where people occasionally eat spiders.

      Consider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_spider

        fried alongside the garlic until “the legs are almost completely stiff, by which time the contents of the abdomen are not so runny.”

        not so runny.

    I’d be fine with eating bugs too if they grew large enough for me to not have to eat the exoskeleton as well.

        I don’t really see the point of deveining. It doesn’t change the flavour and the digestive tract is entirely safe to eat

    I’m a firm bug centrist—non-hemipterans can be bugs but they have to be from a terrestrial lineage.

      Haha, my favorite crochet youtuber Complicated Knots made a series of videos on “Bugsmas” (for Christmas) last year. She included in her bugs such things as bees or beetles, but also a snail and a velvet worm. No hemipterans were included though. But following your definition, all those above could be bugs because they are terrestrial.

    Australia calls one of our salt water crays “Balmain bugs”

    They’re especially popular as a Christmas food
