Raw termites taste like pineapple and cooked termites have a delicate, vegetable flavor. Grubs (which are larvae) of palm weevils taste like beef bone marrow. Fried agave worms (canned in Mexico) taste like sunflower seeds. Diving beetles (available in Chinatown in San Francisco) taste something like clams. Fried grasshoppers taste like sardines.
On the whole, insects tend to taste a bit nutty, especially when roasted. I believe this comes from the natural fats they contain, combined with the crunchiness of their mineral-rich exoskeletons. Crickets, for instance, taste like nutty shrimp, whereas most larvae I've tried have a nutty mushroom flavor.
