Entomophagy is the human consumption of insects as food: human insectivory. The eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults of certain insect species have been eaten by humans since prehistoric times and continue to be an item of the human nutrition in contemporary times. Human insect-eating is common to cultures in most parts of the world, including North, Central, and South America; and Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Over 1,000 species of insects are known to be eaten in 80% of the world's nations. Is this something you would consider doing? Yes, I already have!
