It's well known that not all foods are equal despite having the same calories. There is higher quality protein across food types and even within the same food types. Thinking eating insects will be the same as beef is retarded. Even chicken isn't as good as beef long term. The food chain is real.

Why do you say that? Chicken is, as far as I can tell, practically the perfect food. Just wish it didn't taste so fowl.

If the beef is decent quality, it has more fat, probably more protein, and I believe it has more nutrients overall. Personally I feel the difference when recovering from exercise or physical work.
