Advantages: they're more easily kept and reared, and can live together in greater numbers than, say, cows and pigs. We can use a greater portion of their nutrients; our gut processes insects better than regular meat, as our ancestors most likely ate more insects than cows. We even have a specific enzyme left over from those times to break down their exoskeleton. Insects produce less methane than meat mammals, so it's better for the environment. They can be freeze-dried, so they stay edible for much longer, and can be shipped off further away, also to hunger areas.
Disadvantages: they're not yet socially accepted in America and Europe, though they are commonly eaten in Asia, Africa, Australia and Mexico (though the US is reshaping Mexican standards from traditional insect meals to regular meat).
