One may not eat insects that do not fly, including snakes.
One who eats an olive-size worth of insects or snakes, or one who eats an entire insect or snake - even if less than an olive-worth deserves 39 lashes by Bet Din.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always.
Verse: "Creepy crawling bugs are disgusting, do not eat them" (Vayikra 11:41)
