No, that's something I definitely would not do. 
i’m pretty frightened by bugs tbh
No, but I’d like to try seasoned crickets someday and chirps (cricket chips).

Never intentionally!
But my friends in college would make chocolate covered crickets every now and then. But it was more sort of a novelty to sus out who was cool enough that they would try them out. I hear if they're fried really well, it's just like eating chips, but the idea of eating a whole bug just does not sound appetizing to me =( Maybe you could trick me if it was ground into some sort of insect-meal or flour and then baked into some other form.
But some part of me thinks for the environment, we should eat more bugs! A good source of protein, and there are so many more bugs than humans, and so it would be a sustainable source of food.... if only we could get over the 'ick' factor

Yes a cricket in chocolate. Also had a fly before but I don't remember what it was inside. I think another chocolate. I tasted nothing. I was 6 with the cricket and I don't remember how old i was when i tried the fly. It was just crunchy
I also want to note that it wasn't because I was being silly or on purpose. The ones I ate were meant to be eaten

I hear cicadas are good. My brother said during cicada year some restaurants serve cicada salads and other dishes. We had the 17th year this year, kinda wish I tried one of the meals but idk where to find or how to cook them.Never intentionally!

There was an ant in my water once. 
it was fun reading the comments! also a little comforting some have actually tried insects (albeit how weird that sounds) cuz that means im not the only one LMAO
also for funsies i added an option "yes but against my will" for those who have accidentally ingested an insect. you have my sympathy.

Most of us have probably eaten something with a food coloring that was made from mashed up insects, myself included, but if we're just talking whole insects, I haven't eaten an insect thus far. I almost came close to consuming one when a tiny moth found its way into and drowned in a drink, but thankfully I noticed in time and got rid of the drink.
I might be open to trying sometime just out of curiosity, probably preferably in the form of those insects covered in candy or if they're otherwise prepared in a recipe of some sort. Can't say that I'd be too enthused about the idea though, I feel a bit off even just thinking about it.

Actually, yeah! A few years ago, I tried a dried grasshopper (?) and it does taste like chips. I was surprised as I expected it to taste horrible. And that insects in general kinda freak me out...

not to my knowledge but I feel like I would? if given the opportunity for a nice one lol
Umm yes, I think? When I was 13-14 years old I made a bet with a friend if I could eat an ant. Easy win. And these days quite often little flies bathe in my drinks and I'm pretty sure I swallowed at least few of them.
Does it even count if they both are so small?...
