How much to eat a mealworm larva?

I saw this subject studied in a similar way on Usenet, once, waaaay long ago. Worth considering again.

A mealworm is the larva of a little beetle, you've probably seem them:

Birds like to eat 'em.

But in this case the question is directed at YOU, dear reader... how much money would it take to convince you to eat one of these?

You could assume that the larva was raised in a sterile environment. It would be live. It would move around in a larval sort of way. You'd have to swallow it. Chewing is optional.

Assuming that a representative was standing by with a huge truck full of US dollars, and would pay you on the spot in cash money, no strings attached. How much to down the bugger?

This is not a test, it's nothing deep, just a simple question.
