Natives in Kwara State, Nigeria, and West Africa find termites to be a delicacy. The natives simply put a bowl of water under a light source, seeing how the termites are attracted to light, the termites fall into the water unable to escape.

Termites are even sold in local markets and are eaten by all ages. Except for the queen, she is only eaten by adults. They are roasted over coals or fried in a pot. Salt is added later for taste
