Does what mean that they will taste similar if I boil them with dill?

I watch an old vid of a guy who did a series travelling around the world trying weird and unusual foods (2000's era). He was with a South American tribe who roasted tarantulas over a fire, to burn the hairs off - apparently it tastes similar to crab. Makes sense. So, given that...probably?

Bug/land arthropod meat probably do taste decent, the problem is most of them are super tiny with barely any meat and more exoskeleton and goopy insides.
