Thankfully these are out of season here...

Culonas, short for Hormigas Culonas which literally translates 'big ass ants'. This is a traditional dish, found nowhere else in Colombia, and maybe around the world. The Culonas are 'leaf-cutter' ants (big ones!). Their heads, wings and legs are removed and the rest of the body is toasted and salted.

Yuck!
