Interesting, grew up living among cicadas, and never heard of anyone eating them.  Might hafta give them a try.

But if it's clean protein, it's likely nutritious.  Chicken gizzards, hearts, intestines, feet, beef tripe,  balut, insects (minus silkworm larvae, never could bring myself to try that stinky delicacy).... I have eaten all of those and survived.  People who turn their noses up at those foods have simply never been hungry enough in their life.

I did a good old fashioned blood letting yesterday at the American Red Cross.

I did also today. I did the power red. II take a medicine that makes my hemoglobin spike. That fixed it .

“We’re at the starting point of a conversation about insect welfare,” says Jonathan Birch, a philosopher at the London School of Economics. One of the key questions here is whether insects are sentient and have the capacity to feel pain and suffer.”

Shouldn't be a problem if you kill them Quickly.  Smash them with a fly swatter, fry them with a bug zapper, spray them with Raid, or my personal favorite from my childhood days...burn them to a crisp on a sunny day with a magnifying glass.

You forgot "pull the legs off ants, put them in water, and watch them sink."

I ate a lizard one time live. Do amphibians count ?

More fun gather red ants and black ants, and force them into a melee

The sunlight was never intense enough in Canada to ignite ants, try as I might. The deaths were painful, prolonged, tedious, and not satisfying. Ant smoke is most foul.

 

Then I moved to Florida and discovered fire ants. Gasoline and a match. Most satisfying.

Or an insulated wire attached to an electric fence.  Works even on cloudy days.  I was always amazed at just how many ants traveled across barbed wire every hour.  A few thousand didn't make it thanks to me, but they never stopped trying.

NPR: nobody will FORCE you to eat bugs, but you really should, bigot
