Hi, @melinda010100 thank you for sharing this exquisite step-by-step of the preparation of a sauce so typical of Mexico, very good images, full of details.
As for your question, yes I have eaten insects in a preparation called Katara, it is a dark sauce usually with a spicy touch prepared by indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforest in Venezuela. The base or sustenance is the extract of a tuber called Yucca, to which they add spices to taste like salt, chives, and garlic among others and the final touch are the tails of large ants called "bachacos culones" Atta laevigata. To this sauce they attribute aphrodisiac properties, I have consumed it as a dressing and I have enjoyed its flavor, to enhance meals !LUV
