“Entotarianism” is a protologism coined online in the 2010s. It’s the practice of eating insects + arachnids (and sometimes larvae/worms, myriapods & isopods) while abstaining from meat.
All these animals are often colloquially called “bugs” in America even though only certain insects are true bugs by definition.

Adherents of entotarianism may label themselves “entotarians” at risk of bemusing others since the term is unfamiliar (entotarianism & similar terms are so rarely searched that you can’t even run them through GoogleTrends)
Entotarian is a blend of “éntomon” (“insect” in Greek) w/ “vegetarian”—matching other diet terms that have the same pattern but are more established, popular & understood. {Examples: vegetation+ -arian (as in agrarian)= Vegetarian, pesce+vegetarian= Pescetarian, lac/lacticinia +vegetarian= Lactarian, fruit+vegetarian= Fruitarian} BUT this term is informal slang & unestablished since it’s niche jargon. No mainstream dictionaries list it nor have any prevalence studies been done. It’s likely very rare since entomophagy (insect consumption) is common in regions where protein-sources are scarcer. Adopting a non-medical dietary-restriction is rarer in these areas than in affluent countries where more people have the luxury to choose to reject an entire food group.
Entotarianism is rare in the west due to low-accessibility of bug-products & low-willingness to eat bugs.

Entotarian: “You guys should try my energy bars made from ground crickets made into a flour!”

Vegans, Vegetarians, Pescetarians, Flexitarian Meat-Limiters, Omnivorous Meat-Eaters, Carnivorous Meat-Lovers: “Eww, no freaking way”

Entotarian: “Billions of people eat insects! And have you heard of entotarianism? Hear me out before you say it sounds gross and weird.”

Everyone: “It sounds gross and weird.”

Entotarian: “They’re organic, meatless, low-carb, high-protein, high in essential aminos, high in antioxidants, highly-prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, carbon-neutral, sustainably-produced and humanely-raised! They’re also a viable source of zinc, iron, B5, B7, B12, good fats, insoluble fiber…

Everyone: “No” **Walks away revolted**
