These little freaks right here produce a form of milk protein crystal, meaning in the future it might be possible to not just eat the bug, but milk the bug as well.

HOWEVER, that raises the question, what is "bug milk"? Because if you go by the precedent of nut milks, it's a milk of ground and processed bug. But if you go by the precedent of animal milk, then it would refer to the milk FROM the bug

Without clear rules dictating how to speak here, how is someone to know which product they're getting??

    This is one company that made ice cream and other "dairy" products from black soldier fly larvae.

    I've never eaten a BSFL, but they do have 20% protein, 9% fat, and 1% calcium. I can easily imagine that crushing them, filtering them, and mixing in sugar and flavorings would yield something that would taste like gelato.
