its crayfish cousinz, believe me Lol!

Danmboss:

I remember when I was still, a little lad in the village anytime I eat this thing my body will be covered with some really scrathy racthes, same thing happens if I eat edibles Margot.

I be wan attack you say that thing you are calling edible "maggot" is not a maggot at all! I know them as Beetle Larvae (odon or edon in my language). 7ntil I looked up meaning of maggot and saw that a maggot is another name for Larva.

Danmboss:
Am allergic to this thing

Thought I was the only one, I react badly to it

Harlarbiz01:
I miss eating this flying termites, gone are those days in the late 90s, we are all hunters in the area (Trenches) when it come to this flying termites called Esunsun or Iba as called by we Yorubas, Igbos call it Aku, this termites is said to be very nutritious, so rich in protein.
My childhood experience is incomplete without talking about hunting of Esunsun, snails and fruits, so funny unforgettable experience.
This insect comes out at night following light, sometimes in the early morning when it's still dark.
Esunsun are actually termites that fly, very proteinous and nutritious. Known as Macrotermes bellicosus scientifically.
I won't say much about the peptides and all other biochemical and microbiological information about this insect.

Where do they come out from?

kkins25:
I've never made the observation. My God!!! One could breed this things and sell.. To be honest, I've never seen any one selling it before too nd I stayed up north. Goddamn...

The stigma though, I've seen folks sell grasshoppers but not sure the market moves at all.

I'd put it at the back of my mind...I've thought of cockroaches, but I can't stand the stench!! lol.

Cockroaches as livestock feed is big business down there, isn't it?,

As for grasshoppers, I don't eat them so I couldn't say much about them but what can't good marketing do these days.

Shrimp, crayfish, snails, clams, and lobster are bugs too.

gasparpisciotta:
Esunsun in yoruba.

Tastes nice if well fried

I am not really a fan though

And you know it tastes nice?

Ishilove:

Ogbeni, forget story. You are asking us to eat fried cockroaches

Lobatan.

luluman:
And you know it tastes nice?

VeryWickedGoat:

Danmboss:

Am suspecting the poison used in killing it.

Danmboss:

And because you're eating Indomie and Egg you're saved from poverty? In case you don't know, Termites is being eat by both rich and poor due to its richness in nutrients.

Nothing like poverty there bros.

Just try to explore some of nature's finest critters; grasshoppers, crickets, maggots etc

CulturedGotahia:
You are right!!
This is a nutritious snack. If Nigeria is a Production nation, this is supposed to one of our best selling indigenous snack and even export

Na us never get sense to produce rather.. Because, these insects eat anything. All one needs is a small building, with netted windows for ventilations. Capital investment would be close to zero breeding them.. I could get rottening veggie from veggie sellers for almost free.

Mehn, all this thing might need is proper packaging. The only problem now is secuirity..

Haven't heard of it.

Kobojunkie:
I miss this snack abeg! I still remember the taste too, from way back in the 80s. Dem suppose dey sell these things for market by now.

Good lord.

Eating these things isn't that far off eating cockroaches and other brown, well defined creepers.

The maggots are much better than these insects that are already looking cockroach like.
