Well the latter have more "meat" on them, whereas bugs are mostly just "shells" once they die. You aren't eating the shells of crustaceans, you're eating the innards

You got a point, but the kind of bugs eaten in some parts of the world are usually the fatty kind .

See, at a glance, that thing looks disgusting. I have an instinctive revulsion to the thought of eating it.

I guess some people would say the same for whole live shrimp though, and I grew up fishing them out of the sea and boiling them up in a pot.

Uncooked sea bugs looks unappetising as well

So I guess the same would apply to the uncooked land bugs. They will look better cooked.
