Edible winged termites "Aku, Esunsun, Shinge"

I could remember those days when i fight my cousins over this edible termite, Really been long i see them in great number like those days.....

       They're usually pushed out during the raining season. Termites are rich in protein and packed full of nutrients . Believe me when i say it's really tasty with a nutty flavor. They can be eaten alone as a snack or as an accompaniment to a number of savory dishes. In places like Anambra [orumba/aguata] , it's usually used to cook igbangwu aku a.k.a maize pudding with termites :D. In some other places, it's even used to cook okra soup or egusi soup.
      Flying termites are visible when their colony swarms. Swarms are provoked by heavy rainfall and warm, humid temperatures among other triggers and most times are attracted to fluorescent tubes or bright light . Swarms occur when established colonies produce winged male and female termites in order to reproduce. These flying termites are fed some of the best food the nest has to offer and are well taken care of until the big day. As such, they are loaded with fat stores designed to last them for a few months. After these mating flights, fertilized termites shed their wings and go on to establish new colonies. Have you eaten termites? what do you think about it.
