what is it called to eat bugs
July 18, 2014 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Animals. There are people all over the world who eat bugs and insects as food, and the practice is called Entomophagy, which comes from the phrase âinsect eatingâ in Greek. Entomophagy also applies to other animal groups including insects that eat other insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Insects and nematodes that obtain their nutrition from other insects are sometimes called entomophagous.
