When Snacks Fly to You: My Late-Night Termite Hunt 🐜🥢
Have you ever been sitting in your room late at night, stomach growling, wondering what to eat? Usually, that’s when you start thinking about cooking or maybe buying something.
But tonight, dinner decided to fly right to me.
I was minding my own business when buzz a single winged termite flew past my head. A few seconds later, a second one appeared. For some people, that’s just insects getting inside. But for me? That was a notification from nature saying, "Dinner is served!"
The Hunt with the Cup 🏆
I knew exactly what was happening. The rains had done their job, and the swarm was out. I didn't waste a second. I grabbed the nearest tool I could find a simple cup and headed outside.
The scene was chaotic in the best way possible. The flying party was in full swing around the security light. They were everywhere! It wasn't a struggle; it was a harvest. I was scooping them up, and they were practically diving into the cup.
From Wings to Plate
As anyone who enjoys this delicacy knows, the work doesn't stop at the catch. You have to de-wing them (though many shed them naturally upon landing). I sat there, removing those four silvery wings, watching my cup fill up with pure, organic gold.
Why I Love "Inswa" (Termites)
People talk about "organic" and "free-range" food all the time. well, it doesn't get more organic than this.
- Zero cost: Free from nature.
- High Protein: Better than a protein shake.
- Freshness: Caught minutes before eating.
Tonight, I’m skipping the store-bought snacks. I’m frying these up in their own oil with just a pinch of salt. There is nothing quite like that nutty, savory crunch of fresh termites.
Good night everyone, I’ve got some eating to do! ❤️
How do you prefer to cook yours? Fried dry or with a little oil?
