Stomach churning footage shows a Thai girl eating 12 different types of protein-rich fried insects.

The insects included grasshoppers, crickets, silk worms, red ant eggs, beetles, locust and doodlebugs.

There was even a three-inches long giant water bug filled with chewy gunge on the inside.

Each of the protein-rich insects were fried before being sold on a stall at the Huai Khwang market in Bangkok, Thailand, on Sunday evening (April 11).

Local resident, Gam, was recorded sampling each of the creatures, which are regarded as a delicacy across Thailand and southeast Asia.
