Reply to comment by chcampb in Do insects have "meat" like other animals? I know that grubs, mealworms, etc. are eaten in some parts of the world, but if, for instance, beetles were the size of cows, could you butcher one and make beetle steak? by 9RFCat9

Is something like a grub then technically all meat?

No, it has the guts, legs, and head on one end and then a sausage of muscle through which runs the alimentary tract. If you pull off the head and legs and carefully extract the guts you'll be left with the meaty part
