Dishes made from weevils are believed to contain high levels of unsaturated fat and protein.
Stir-frying is a good method of cooking weevils.
Weevils are left in logs to grow for about 35 days before they are ready to be sold.
Running a weevil farm is a popular business in the south of Thailand, where the insects’ favourite food, sago palm trees grow. Farmers earn up to 7,000 baht per month selling weevils as a food believed to contain high unsaturated fat and protein. Photos by Patipat Janthong.

Two insects that are found in urban restaurants of Mexico, and were formerly exported to the United States and Europe, are the white maguey 'worm' (larva of the hesperiid, Aegiale hesperiaris Kirby) and ahuahutle or 'Mexican caviar' (eggs of several species of aquatic Hemiptera). However, both are in reduced numbers now -maguey larvae because of over-collecting, and ahuahutle because of urban pollution of alkaline lakes. At present, two Asian insects are being exported to Asian community food shops in the United States: these are the giant water bug (Lethocerus indicus L. & S.) from Thailand (Pem- berton, 1988), and canned silkworm pupae [Bombyx mori (L.)] from South Korea.
