No, I have not tried them. I have been told that they are delicious, but...I hate insects. No freakin' way I will eat them, unless it is a dire, dire situation.

are those flying thermite, by any chance?
The locals where I come from would gather thousands of them before (or after, can't remember) the monsoon from every light source, place them in a bowl of water, then stir-fry them. Looked like a pile of flies or black-n-white fried rice from a distance.

I don't know how they do it there, but back when I grew up, they just cut the head, drain the blood, and mix it with local liquor. The night guards would mix it with beer and sometimes egg to keep them sharp through the night.
Some info from a US businessman:

I won't call the nastiest thing I ate nasty at all, it did look nasty and non-apetizing but it tasted great (+ the warm sensation); snake and monitor cuisine, fried, baked, etc....and no, they didn't taste like chicken, I'd say better, although too many bones with the snake like freshwater milkfish.
As for balut, if it's the same thing with geese egg that failed to hatch and then kept for days until it lets out sordid odor, that is indeed nasty.
