Termite Tasting Time

After the rains come and go, scores of termites fly en masse from the ground heavenward.  The photos do not adequately capture the sight, but if you look closely you can see them on the ground and in the air. Even the dog and deer were fascinated.

This is the time that the locals love to capture and cook (or eat raw) these tasty morsels.  I joined our security guard today in an afternoon snack.  As you can see, he was a bit more excited about this delicacy than I was.  But I'll have to say, "You don't get this kind of taste treat in Texas! "
