Do people buy food they see insects crawling on?
You don't know where those insects have been, they could have been walking on anything!

Guess they do....
In some parts when the wasps get bad you can't really avoid it, even if you can keep them off the food in the kitchen the moment you take it out it will be covered in them. If you don't want to eat food a wasp has touched you can only eat at home and nowhere else.
Meh, they could just as easily land on me, a fly bug landing on something wouldnt stop me eating it. That kind of cautiousness is a recipe for disaster
I don't much care. Insects are insanely clean animals. Have to be or their exoskeleton gets jacked.
Still, I have an illogical ick about bugs walking on my food more so than landing on it.
Flies literally vomit on the food they want to consume, because they use their stomach acid to dissolve it. So they could have been munching on some dogshit before they landed on your dinner, and then they vomit up that dogshit on your food.
Insects are not automatically "insanely clean animals" per definition just because they have an exo-skeleton.
