Some could be toxic, but certainly not all. I have had misfortune of eating a few riding a motorcylce through a swarm and a co-worker at a bunch to make a point. Ants, wasps, bee larvae and mayflies taste better.
The toxicity is likely to come from plants the adults consume while refueling. Elder Berries and Common Milkweed are both consumed and could be a source of nastiness.
I have about 60 juvenile chickens eating lots of beetles over the last few days. No losses nor obvious health issues.
