These are formed when a light green grub Cystococcus echiniformis burrows under the bark of the tree and secretes an irritating saliva which causes the tree to form a protective gall around the insect in a sort of oyster-and-pearl scenario, north of Alice Springs, Central Australia.

  • In a rice paddy near Ubud, Bali (Indonesia), a young boy catches dragonflies with a wand made from jackfruit palm frond stem tipped with sticky jackfruit sap. He pulls the dragonfly off the end of the wand before skewering it on a stick to take home. Past generation of Balinese kids routinely caught dragonflies this way, then dewinged, and stir-fried them with coconut oil: a crispy protein snack. This practice has mostly disappeared due to a more prosperous population that has ready access to chicken. Image from the book project Man Eating Bugs: The Art and Science of Eating Insects.
