3. Grubs

Grubs are the large, squirming, worm-like larva of beetles, though the term can also refer to any kind of insect larva. Depending on the species, they can be as large as a finger. You can find grubs in leaf litter and underneath moist, rotting logs. They are rich in fat that can help sustain you for a long time. Roast grubs by skewering them onto a stick and cooking them over a fire.

4. Earthworms

Easy to identify and common in moist soils, earthworms make a good and slimy nutritional supplement to a forager’s diet. Though they can be eaten raw, they are also subject to parasites and usually have guts full of grainy sand. You can make them safer and more palatable by boiling them first, though there is not much in the way of flavor.

5. Wood lice

These are not actually insects but crustaceans—more closely related to lobsters and crabs than beetles. You can find them underneath rocks, rotting logs, and moist leaf litter, and they can be quite easy to catch in decent amounts. They need to be cooked thoroughly, so boil them first to kill internal parasites; then, you can try roasting or frying them for some texture.
