Yummy!!! Really that isn't the first thing you thought when you saw them??
Muna beetles here in PNG are a treat that only come around once a year. And it is that time again! This means that the boys are out in the yard at dusk with their flip flops wildly flailing about trying to knock the flying beetles out of the air and then gathering them up.
Okay and then they hand them off to the night gaurds who are very pleased to receive such a gift.
Em gudpela kai kai (good food), just pull off the wings and cook in oil!
Mel for the Marshes
PS. Or an alternate if you just don't think you can stomach them, they make great cuddle bugs. As recommended by a couple of the youngsters on our compound, who each took a jar full of them to bed.
