In a survival situation, you probably wouldn’t make it on bugs alone, despite what some sites would have you believe. But insects could certainly be an important part of what keeps you alive. Bugs are highly nutritious, with lots of proteins and vitamins and modest amounts of fat. Here are the things you should know.

    The text isn't exactly A1 advice.

    Ants are abundant, which is good because you’re going to need a whole lot of them to move the needle on your hunger. Find an anthill or ant hole and shove a stick in it...

    Um... "Shove a stick in it"? How many times would you need to do that to actually get more than a few dozens calories of food? 100s of times? 1,000s? I'm total crap at mental arithmetic but from a caloric standpoint - you might easily use more calories than the calories you could get.

    Also "Bees and Wasps" are listed twice...

    To catch: "7. Bees and Wasps"
    To avoid: "3. Bees and Wasps"
