Raw ants?
Technically they are made up of "sugar", but it's not dietary sweet sugar. Ants are mostly composed of the carbohydrate chitin, same as beetle's shells, which is an insoluble poly-saccharide. Simple 'sweet sugars' are mono-saccharides and water soluble such as 'glucose' and 'fructose' etc. :science:
Raw ants probably taste like poo poo. But they are usually prepared in such a way so they are sweet and crunchy.

Raw ants are actually very bitter thanks to being full of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid
