text: In The Amazing Spider-Man , Peter catches a fly (0'15 in the clip below), and is seen licking his fingers at 0'30.
text: Might not be actual craving though, perhaps just uneasiness.

text: Presumably he ate some bugs in this form even if we don’t explicitly see it, that I remember.

text: It’s stated twice, from both Peter and Deadpool’s perspective, that while trapped in Tabula Rasa he ate insects— he frames it as something simply done to survive, but in Deadpool’s retelling he seems to think he enjoyed it, though whether that’s true or not is up for speculation.
text: Take it how you will!
text: Spider-Man:
text: Wade, seriously.
text: What are you talking about?
text: Last time I saw you we were in Tabula Rasa.
text: Do you know
text: Husk and I were stuck in there for 36 hours?
text: We had to eat bugs.
text: BUGS.
text: Deadpool:
text: I... wait.
text: Are you serious?
text: Spider-Man:
text: Who lies about eating bugs?
text: Who does that?
text: Spider-Man:
text: We had to eat bugs.
text: To be honest, they were delicious, but that is not the point.

Summary of the answers:
It is not 100% clear whether Peter Parket has craved or eaten bugs as a side-effect of being bitten by the spider. However, there is evidence to suggest that he has. In The Amazing Spider-Man, Peter is seen licking his fingers after catching a fly, and in Spider-Man Deadpool issue #5, he eats insects.
There are no scenes where Parker is explicitly shown eating bugs but he is shown, for example, cathing flies and licking his fingers shortly thereafter and both he and Deadpool say that he ate bugs on Tabula Rasa.
