Entomophagy (consumption of insects) is a practice that goes back to pre-Hispanic times. This is documented in the Florentine Codex, written by Fray Bernardo de Sahagún, which describes 96 species of edible insects, which are still consumed.
Today 504 species of edible insects have been counted in the Mexican Republic, and only a few of the states in the center, south and southeast of the country have been explored. Bedbugs, aphids, dragonflies, maguey worms, beetles, ants, bees, chapulines, jumiles ... anyway, the list is as big as the number of people who reject them to eat them without having tried them ... Would you dare?
And what a snack you crave?
That's actually interesting. When I was in Nigeria I ate the one in the 2nd picture. The juice white ones. And the other ones that look like a cricket. My great gma use to eat them all the time
And did you know there are over 1900 different insects eaten all over the world? here in Thailand, they loveee a good cricket.
These are great pictures. Did you take them?
