This reminds me of something I saw on PBS in a discussion of scanning electron microscope photography. I say, cook 'em all, or take your chances. You might get lucky. These prepared crickets are then fried. They are supposedly very tasty to those whose palate accepts them.
Spread termites on stone to dry in sun.
Pour oil in pan and spread dried termites on it. Toast over hot coals until almost crisp. Sprinkle with salt. It helps the flavor, say those that have tried the recipe, if you eat the termites in handfuls. Termites aren't all the plentiful in parts of the U.S., but I suppose that the recipe would be just fine for ants.
