Best Answer

Jewish people are not allowed to eat insects due to their religion. Jewish people can only eat kosher food, meaning the food has to follow certain requirements and insects do not follow those requirements. There is one exception to this in that there are certain varieties of locust which may be eaten (Leviticus ch.11). However, due to the rarity of these types of locusts outside of desert regions, only the Yemenite Jewish community retained the traditional knowledge to distinguish between acceptable locusts and forbidden ones.
