When we entered elementary school, we played a lot of games in the village, one of the toys was looking for grasshoppers during the rainy season or when the harvest was finished in the fields. Its wide expanse makes us free to play all day long, even some of us often come home after sunset. Because just before sunset, a lot of grasshoppers come out of their nests and they fly like they have lost control. That's when we got our chance to conquer and get their hands on a large number.

In our place, the armers usually cultivate their crops twice a year. When the rice fields are empty and this is an opportunity for children to play there and one of the most interesting and well-known activities for me until now is the activity of looking for them, we usually look for them in groups to easily chase them. most of it I have forgotten the name but the unique grasshoppers then we collect some of it we ouch and some of it is cooking Wow, it's very nice to cook grasshoppers with chili sauce in Aceh grasshopper requires a variety of running speed skills as well as knowing when the opposite will give up from the flying process it can be that other.
We bring wooden wooden tools or make them like a broom of leaves that grow in the rice fields, we tie them together like a broom to beat other flying grasshoppers. delicious from prawns until now I miss very much I am sure that the culture of looking for grasshoppers is not only in Aceh but in other areas which of course need to be nurtured by millennial children, of course they will not know about this process because they know more about nature and When to be friends with nature the generation of 80s and 90s is the last generation that can adapt to nature Hopefully future children can also understand that nature is very important

It turns out that the habit of looking for grasshoppers is not only in Aceh in other areas, this game is also obtained. In fact, this is not just a child's play, but can be used as a source of additional nutrition for the community. But of course people still think this activity is just a joke.
Did you know that grasshoppers are very good and can help us in several ways as follows:
Decreased cholesterol
Healthy teeth and bones
Heals wounds
O yes. Enjoy eating grasshoppers, hope you get a good recipe. I'm also looking for more recipes for great grasshopper broth for me to write on #steemit and the #steemsea community.
