Yes, they can. Even though a lot of people think that hamsters are herbivores, but they are actually omnivores. In the wild, they eat loads of soft invertebres including crickets, and mealworms. They love to eat crickets. If you are going to give your hamster bugs, give them dead ones. Giving your hamster live bugs to kill and eat, this will make your hamster untamed, and you can never tame it again.

Yes I saw it with my own two eyes in my garage. I guess if there is a lack of food, they need some sort of protein

Yes. They can also eat locusts and grasshopper, but it doesn't look very appealing. It looks disgusting.
