Only a guess, but I saw an entomologist on a PBS special, say as she was
walking through the jungle "all bugs are edible" I wondered about the all
bugs in that there must be a poisonous one somewhere. But I took her
statement to mean any "ordinary" bug is edible. Which if one thinks about
it is funny. We spray poisonous stuff on plants to rid them of a creature
that is safely eaten. Of course some bugs eat the plant preventing them
from growing, but the bugs themselves are probably edible. Beth

Or, besides raising the protein content of the corn minutely, is their only
damage aesthetic (admittedly a major effect when faced by squeamish
consumers)?
