So what insects or arthropods would you eat? Assuming you eat sea arthropods already.

I think I might try escamoles -ant pupae aka Mexican caviar, and some leafhoppers that Andrew Zimmern ate in Madagascar.

The guy also ate maggot cheese in Sardinia and dung beetles in Thailand. Not on my menu.

Locusts? They’re kosher. Cicadas look sort of appealing when they first emerge - they are ivory with a faint pink and green iridescence. Call them tree shrimps. But not appealing after they go green-black. They aren’t kosher. They don’t have the right kind of legs.

What kind of legs makes an insect kosher?

I remember Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods, and I remember that episode. I’m about 20% Sardinian, and I have NO DESIRE to to try maggot infested cheese.
