Well to begin, insects have their share of poisonous species. The most famous is the familiar ladybug we use for pest control. two of these beetles have enough toxicity to kill a child. Insects are eaten worldwide. It is just a cultural hangup.Some of our food habits and preparations would make a New Guinea highland headhunter faint. A good start for the squeemish is a fancy french restaurant with a plate of escargot. I've eaten earthworms,snails,grubs and grasshopppers in schools. I have some pamhlets and a weblisting somewhere here. Ill post it when I dig it out.<br><br>
