I ate silkworm larvae when we lived in Korea. That was years ago. They were boiled in soysauce and very tasty but I had no idea what I was eating until afterward. Have you ever read the book, "How to Eat Fried Worms?" It actually tells how to cook nightcrawlers. I have eaten a superworm before and they are very bitter. My suggestion is to buy some mealworms and saute in butter until crunchy and then place over the top of a favorite veggie.

i swallow numerous flys (perth in summer is bug city)
i barbequed a worm when i was much younger and ate that
there are some ants that have gigantic bums swolen with a honey like substance, you can eat them
roaches are supposed to be full of protein
dont they eat grasshoppers in mexico (no offence to any mexicans if this is not true)
whichety grubs (i asume they turn into an insect)

I swallowed a June bug once (a big beetle) but it was totally accidental and I didn't have a chance to chew it or anything like that. It scratched all the way down. I had a visual of it sticking all its legs out and eeeee-eeeee-eeeee-eeee-eeee down to my stomach. It's made a good story for me.
My brother had spiders hatch out in his hand when he was a boy. He had a calloused spot at the base of his thumb. One day a tiny hole opened up and a whole parade of tiny spiders marched out. We didn't eat them.

Locusts and grasshoppers, roasted or fried are very good, and more people should take advantage in locust plagues. I ate a fly by accident - I survived!

Yes. Not so long ago you used to be able to buy chocolate coated honey ants and they were delicious.
