Gypsy moths might be okay, but don't try eating Japanese beetles. I
have friends who thought they would be a terrific "natural food". These
are people who ate ants and grasshoppers with relish. They collected a
few hundred Jabs from the (unsprayed) rose bushes and popped them in the
oven. Let's just say they never tried that again.
In general, I think beetles are bitter and unpleasant. Maybe that's why
there are so many of them.
