One thing about some insects - I used to have fish in an aquarium that were large enough to eat crickets in one bite, and every single insect I caught in our home and put in the water also had parasitic worms that tried to escape the host insect immediately when it realized the insect was in water - these parasitic worms seem to take up most of the insects abdomen. This might not be a problem in non tropical parts of the world, but it's like a horror movie in miniature.

Farmed insects like silkworm should be safe to eat, I often stir fry them as a snack with beer. Quite tasty!

Are farmed tapeworms safe to eat?

Nematode aren't insect though :)

Jesus Christ. I've eaten crickets for the novelty, but now I won't until I'm absolutely sure they're not holding those huge parasitic worms.

you need to deep fry the insects and problem solved, then add guacamole and that's it
