Man Eating Bugs: The Art and Science of Eating Insects book image

Children in the village of Bweyogerere excitedly hunt for termites by hacking into their earthen mound, placing a cloth in front of the entrance, and yanking off the ants that attack the cloth. They pick them up by the rear, biting off their heads and throwing away the rear part. Or they collect them in a bowl to be roasted. Bweyogerere, Uganda. (Man Eating Bugs page 148,149)
