 That bottle would be 4 pounds of nutritiously dense beef. 

God speed with that cricket fluff 
 they are more protein dense than very lean ground beef (22%) protein

Crickets are about 65%

Bioavailability is another question 
 Yes. You crap out most of it. 

Also. Bug contain chitin. We cannon digest chitin. It wreaks havoc on all our insides 
 doing a deeper dive on Chitin - I don't think any of the scientific studies on it are that conclusive

Chitin is abundant in a lot of seafood too and cultures that consume a lot of it (Japan) have some of the healthiest and longest living populations 
 Chitin is largely indigestible. Mushrooms contain a lot of it, it's where extraction (boiling, ethanolic) helps break it down to make it more bioavailable. 
 You can have the same amount of protein but if you are missing essential BCAA proteins then you can't make the proteins your body needs. See the "What I learned" YouTube videos on protein.  
 So is amino acid spectrum.

AFAIK beef and eggs remain ndefeated
