Ants and ant eggs are a common street food in Thailand where Kai Mod Dang (Red Ant eggs) are on sale when in season. For edible insects / entomophagy.


Thai cuisine sees ant eggs as fair game for the kitchen table. Ant harvesting is a seasonal activity. Seen: a dish of ant larvae (aka ant eggs) with scrambled eggs (more usually the ant eggs are made into an omelette), and steamed cauliflower and broccolli pieces with ant pupae and spiced with chilli powder.
