One of the side-effects that I find fascinating is that once the bad-tastiness is established, other bug species might experience selection pressure for an appearance closer to the bad tasting bugs.

Well, you can probably see that I am hoping to find chinks in the armour of the ToE, and I haven't found one here. I don't really expect that I will ever find a chink myself, but I'm sure they exist, and will be discovered by scientists some day.

You're looking for chinks that indicate a role in natural history for the supernatural, and these aren't the kinds of chinks scientists are looking for. Scientists seek chinks in our understanding of the natural world and then work to resolve them.
