After rains yesterday, the house is swarmed with these flies.

I hear they are edible and I want to have a taste.

If I was your friend/family, would you advise me to try them out or I should stop?

Do you have them where you are? And how do you call them?

I would worry they would start hatching out of your stomach if you ate them lol.

Apparently they taste like shrimp after cooking them.

These are winged termites. Always swarm out after a rainy day.
I have eaten them before, and they sure are tasty.
It's a special delicacy over here and they are called "shinge"

They are prepared by first sunning them for a few hours. They are then stir fried but without oil as the produce a lot of oil ones exposed to heat.

I did try them, but I didn't know about sunning them. Do you remove the wings before stir frying? That's what I did.

Yes I did. Sunning helps with removing the wings
