Entomophagy: npaub noj hmo

This post was chosen as an Editor's Selection for ResearchBlogging.org Kuv yeej paub lawm tias nyob rau ntau qhov chaw ntawm lub ntiaj teb no, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog tawm ntawm beaten khiav, kab lia npaub thiab butterflies no rau ntawm daim ntawv qhia zaub mov. Ntawm Teb chaws Africa mus Australia muaj cov dozens ntawm hom uas yuav saj tsis tau zoo txaus yuav tubntxhais siav los qab txawm. Tiam sis ntawm no hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas kab tsis tshua yog puas tau ua rau peb cov ntxhuav (tsis kawg rau peb paub) – tab sis tej zaum muaj nyob rau hauv peb lub fwj. Kuv paub tseeb tias koj ntau tau pom cov cab tom qab ntawm lub raj mis tequila: uas yog ua tau cov kab ntsig txog cov Cossid npauj Hypotpa agavis. Kuv tseem hnov hais tias cov neeg Mev neeg khawb hom zaub rau lawv noj su ntais los noj xob yem rau loj loj liab menyuam kab ntawm ib yam npauj; tej zaum nyob rau lub genus Comadia. Dua li kuv paub dhau los, Kuv yog lub ras los ib tsab xov xwm tshiab tawm tswv yim txog ntau haiv neeg lus loj heev uas siv los ua kev pab zaub mov staple thoob Mexico Lepidoptera.

Txoj kev tshawb no nyuam qhuav luam tawm nyob rau ntawm phau ntawv Journal of Ethnobiology txog ib tag nrho 67 hom tsis tu ncua ntaub los ntawm hauv paus txawm coob txog Mexico. 67! Stunning haj tseem siv nyob ntawm cov neeg laus thiab txawm tias cas kuv yuav xav txog li hom noxious. Thaum muab piv rau cov kev tshawb fawb zoo xws li cov no yog cov coob thiab tej feem ntawm txoj kev tshawb fawb teb zoo thiab pab thawj zaug. Dhau los sau phau ntawv rau cov chaw muaj xwb thiaj ua hauj lwm tom teb xwb los nram nruj me ntsis rau bibliographic ua hauj lwm, limiting cov ntsiab. Tsuas 17 ntawm lub 31 Mev lub xeev tau them, tawm hauv ntau qhov chaw tseem unexplored, tab sis yuav kom zov pes tsawg tus siav Lepidoptera ntxiv. Tseem ceeb mas koj yuav xav hais tias ntawm cov qhabnias uas ntiaj teb dav noj ntawm Lepidoptera heev tsis yog qhia. Nws tsis tuaj li thiab tsab tiam sis vim muaj ntau kab lia tus hluas muaj protein ntau nplua nuj thiab yooj yim tua tau los. Ib txhia txawm tuaj nyob rau hauv ib lub npaj ua hnab. (Ua tus ib cag, cov kev lepidoptera puas nthuav heev thiab tsim canvass li tents uas yog ze li ntawm impenetrable).

 

Kuv xav tias tus accompanying cookbook thiab ntau zoo qhia txog seb cov kab lia yuav npaj. Lawv pav tias tus ob txoj kev tshaj yog ib qhov yooj yim yias kib los yog hau las ntsev rau cov dej. Kuv yuav xav txog tej yam tej tsiaj yuav ib tug txheej txheem uas tshwj xeeb, los ntawm cov heev li caum pab uas muaj ib yam dab tsi zoo tasting. Nyiam cov khoom noj, tab sis, ib txhia risen muaj qib uas delicacy. Tus “cab dawb agave” (Comadia redtenbacheri) yog cov kaus poom thiab exported hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas, muag rau $250 ib kilos los $50 ib poom!

Tus sau phau ntawv nco ntsoov tias xya lub RAUCAUM xya no kuj ceeb tias noj cov laus; xws li huab tais npuj-npaim uas yog famously noxious. Nyob li cas no palatable yog tshaj ntawd kuv, tab sis tsis muaj pav yog muab hais li cas los yog vim li cas lawv npaj yuav. Thiab noj raws li ib tug neeg laus yog cov swallowtail uas muaj tailed ntau tus (hauv qab, ntawm Butterflies of America). Kuv pom hauv lub teb no txhua lub sijhawm hauv Arizona tej zaum kuv yuav tau ib tug rau ib tug tsawg lob… Tab sis saib tawm rau ntawm kab lia vim hais tias lawv yuav qhia tau rau “ua rau lub plawv nres”.

Xyuas lwm tsab yog siv Hemileuca thiab Hylesia kab lia. Cov stout Saturniidae yuav them tuab urticating plaub mos mos los yog tus spines uas yuav ua rau tawv khov mob phev heev (duab nraaj dog dig). Cov no yuav npaj li cas? Lub spines ntawm Hemileuca tawv thiab txhob cias plaub mos mos uas yuav tsum brushed kub tuag, thiab cov plaub mos mos ntawm Hylesia qhia rau ua kom cuag dermatitis!

Kuv yog ib tug zoo nkauj adventurous eater thiab kuv tsis hais tsis rau feem ntau ntawm cov leps. Heck, Yog koj muab tso rau ib tug taco kuv yuav tsum ua li cas ua ntej koj yuav tau qhia kuv li cas yog nyob rau hauv nws. Tab sis, txoj kev tshawb no yog ib qho tseem ceeb rau txoj kev tau taub ntawm lub chaw tso dej thiab tseem ceeb ntawm Lepidoptera thiab kab hauv lub neej txhua hnub mus kuaj. Preservation ntawm tsis yog pab kom zoo nkauj butterflies pa, tab sis noj mov saum lub rooj.
