Reply to comment by PyroSAJ 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

The “bone” is actually chitin, which is the same thing the flesh of mushrooms are made of so it is actually edible just not great in larger amounts.
