After being bitten by the spider, has Peter Parker ever eaten or craved eating bugs as a side effect?

19Seeing that the FDA has an acceptable level of "whole or equivalent insect parts" in food, Peter Parker and everyone else who has eaten anything once grown on a farm has eaten bugs. – B540Glenn Jul 23 '19 at 12:59

4@B540Glenn I'm not sure it's taking this question in good faith to not interpret it to mean "gone out of his way to eat bugs as would a spider in contrast to human tendencies" – Darren Ringer Jul 23 '19 at 22:11

Spiders-Man of Earth-11580 almost certainly has.
Spiders-Man.
Thousands of spiders that believe they are Peter Parker of Earth-11580.

2Hmmm I'm not sure if this counts as "Peter Parker" considering the quote in the image but it is certainly a borderline case. – TheLethalCarrot Jul 23 '19 at 13:32

3@RossThompson Ooooh, Spiders-Man. He's physically made of spiders. Thanks. – user38763 Jul 24 '19 at 15:36
Depending on how much you're willing to look into it, kinda? In The Amazing Spider-Man, Peter catches a fly (0'15 in the clip below), and is seen licking his fingers at 0'30. Might not be actual craving though, perhaps just uneasiness.

Judging from his overall behavior, I'd say he wasn't intentionally tasting his fingers – DCOPTimDowd Jul 24 '19 at 16:38
In Spider-Man: The Animated Series Spider-Man mutates into his final mutation form from the initial spider bite and becomes Man-Spider. Presumably he ate some bugs in this form even if we don’t explicitly see it, that I remember.

2Even if we did see this form eating bugs, I'd have trouble still considering this thing as Peter. – DCOPTimDowd Jul 22 '19 at 19:22

According to Spider-Man Deadpool issue #5, yes! It’s stated twice, from both Peter and Deadpool’s perspective, that while trapped in Tabula Rasa he ate insects— he frames it as something simply done to survive, but in Deadpool’s retelling he seems to think he enjoyed it, though whether that’s true or not is up for speculation. Take it how you will!
Spider-Man: Wade, seriously. What are you talking about?
Last time I saw you we were in Tabula Rasa. Do you know Husk and I were stuck in there for 36 hours?
We had to eat bugs. BUGS.Deadpool: I... wait. Are you serious?
Spider-Man: Who lies about eating bugs? Who does that?
Spider-Man: We had to eat bugs.
To be honest, they were delicious, but that is not the point.

One of the earliest incarnations of the web-slinger in television was Supaidaman:
Rather than Peter Parker the student/freelance photographer, this one was a motorcycle racer called Takuya Yamashiro. Living his whole life in Japan and having been born decades ago, it is quite possible that Yamashiro at least once tried some of the local insect-based dishes, such as 稲子 (inago, which is actually grasshopper), 蜂の子 (hachi no ko, bee larvae) and 蚕のさなぎ (kaiko no sanagi, silk pupae).
