Flying Termite seasonal snacks. This is the larva of termite very nutritious

Hello havians

Flying termite this is the season you will found them everywhere. Once there is light forget they will gather around that light you will wake up to see your environment litters with this insect wings and if your windows is open while sleeping sorry for you because there is enough work awaiting you. This year I purposely plan to catch them and use it so before i went to bed I make sure I put on the security light on since the security light is fluorescent you know it will make the whole environment bright so around that 12midnight I started hearing the sound of something so I decided to come out and check behold when I came out it was flying termite I was so happy.

And I began to pack them into a bowl that I have already put enough water so that they won't crawl out of the bowl that is the essence of the water it will prevent them from crawling out. So I pack enough to my desire and I went back to sleep till the following morning. When I wake up from sleep I go ahead to prepare it.

First of all I remove them from the water I put them in the night into another bowl with water I added salt to the water this salt will help in bringing out sand from the body if at all while packing there was sand so the salt will help and remove the sand from them. If you can see, you will notice that they have wings this is what help them to fly so if I want to start to remove the wings from the body of the termite, it may take long so I wash it with the wings I allowed it because I know when I fry it the wings will fall off by it self and I will then select it from the body.

After thoroughly washing to avoid sand while eating because it can be so frustrating to bite sand while eating is not a good experience so I make sure I wash it well with enough water. I then pout it into a frying pan put on the gas and begin my frying add a little quantity of salt to taste and fry it till it is well dry me I like it when it well dry some people like it half done me I like it very dry. I like the crunchy sound when I eat it so i fry it for like 20 minutes
After which my termite is ready for consumption.

I bet they taste pretty good! I have tried crickets before and they supposedly contain a lot of protein. Termites look much larger and filling.

Yeah they taste so good, I have never tasted cricket before because of the smell but termite is okay for me and has a lot of protein too Thank you for coming around I really appreciate your time
