    I used to know a guy in the Army who ate roaches all the time. I would hold them between his front teeth so you could see their little legs squirming and then, "gulp", they were gone.

      I once talked my sister into eating an ant when we were little kids, and I also talked a friend of mine into swallowing a live goldfish when we were in our early twenties.

      I ate escargot once, does that count? I was the nastiest thing I've ever eaten.

        Never ate a bug on purpose, but I have consumed several. As a kid, riding my bike, some king of fairly large bug, japanese beetle or about that size, flew right in my mouth as I was riding down hill at breakneck speed. It was way in the back of my mouth and I swallowed it by reflex practically before I realized what the deal was.
        Other bugs have been gnats or similar when they swarm at my favorite fishing spot.

          I used to eat ants when I was a kid.
          I have had things fly into my mouth and have swallowed them by accident.

                  It's good enough fer my chickens.
                  can't get enough ov thoze bugs.
                  But-
                  " How many spiders do people accidently eat at night?

                  The swallowing spiders story is an urban legend started in 1993 by a columnist writing for a computer magazine. She wanted to illustrate how people accepted “facts” so readily on the Internet. It seems we still are! I think the original story was that, on average, a person swallows eight spiders per year.
                  Now, a spider would steer clear of your mouth at night—for goodness sakes, it might be eaten! Spiders have predators and having one breathe down their “necks” would be frightening. Why would they go looking to be dinner? "

                    The place is crawling with spiders every summer, so I'm quite sure they're savvy enough to stay away from my mouth... I swallowed two bugs today (that'll teach me not to sing loudly while gardening in bug season). Other than that, I don't think I've ever deliberately eaten a bug. Oh and: hullo!

                      I loves meal worms and waxworms! Very tasty! I've tried cricket...you can have them...they're yucky!
                      I bite bees whenever I can but I don't actually eat them.

                        One summer, a long time ago, I was riding a friend's horse bareback. It was 16 hands high and part draft horse, so it was as wide as it was tall. Of course, it's mane had been shaved off, so there was nothing to hang on to and my legs were doing the splits just trying to ride him. We were racing up a hill and my horse was so rough and bouncing me every which way and I was laughing...with my mouth open. A fly flew in and yep, instinctively I swallowed and heard it buzzing all the way down my throat. Then I lost my balance on the horse and fell off bouncing on my heiner three times before ending up feet over weasel.
