Hey Clark, it's about time you showed up here, welcome to the fire! People, let me introduce you to my partner in adventure, Clark! This guy actually enjoys hanging out with me in the woods, on the water, and in creepy old deserted buildings. Damn good reflexes on him, too.

To answer your question, according to this website 100g of june bugs have 13.4g of protein, 1.4 g of fat, 2.9g of carbs, 22.6mg of calcium and 3mg of iron. 100g of lean ground beef has 27.4g of protein, so you'd need about 10-12oz of june bugs to get the protein of your steak.

Tell K that "meat" is the proper term. Think, it's called lobster meat and crawfish meat. They are bugs, too.

p.s. I'll e-mail the shot of Miniwether. I think the princess tiara she's wearing in the picture goes exceptionally well the tonuge covered in beetle goo.
