MOTHS USED AS FOOD.

An article Of food which is relished by
the natives of the Philippine Islands is
procured by collecting large quantities
of moths from the rocks of the noun
famous regions In several spots in the
mountains in Panay and other islands
of the group I saw moths existing so
thickly in the rocky tissues that they
could be scraped off into buckets by the
quart. The moths seemed to mass in
the crevices and hang there.
The natives have not failed to inves-
tigate the worth of the moth as an ar
ticle of food, and they use the insects
in large quantities. Their made of
catching consists in going to the hills in
parties of a dozen or more. with the
proper bag and articles for collecting
the moths.
The scraping process is used in some
sections of the islands, while in Negroes
Isle particularly l noticed that they
adopted different scheme. Here they
spread bamboo mat on the ground be-
meath an overhanging colony of the
moths and then proceed to disturb the
insects with the point of a spear or piece
hold and drop to the mats. Bhey are
slow of action, and before they can
crawl away the game is bagged,
The dainty natives will not eat the
wings or the heads of the little moth,
and so they now take steps to remove
these Objectionable parts This opera
ton consists in creating heat to such
an extent that the tissues in the heads
and wings become baked and crumbe
off
The natives accomplish this end by
cutting holes in the earth in which hot
fires are burned until the earth is quite
hot The hot Goals are taken away, and
the moths are put into the highly heat
ed openings The intense heat crisps
the head and wings to ashes so that
when removed from the hole and sub
jected to a sitting operation through
netting, the powdered parts are sifted
off, leaving only the body. This process
also does away with the legs.
Often the moths in their present stage
of preparation are eaten with sugar or
other articles of food. Again, the moths
are used in conjunction with other mix
lures of food in the form of pudding
and prepared dishes.
The cocoanut is literally used in mix
lures with the moth, and cocoanut cake
and pie and moth filings are common.
Then in some instances the moth is
again baked and reduced to powder by
in rice-pounding bowls, The
obtained in this way is sweet
ened and used in various forms.-Scien-
