Armed with a spade i sought to open a waste water channel in my parents back yard through a small banana plantation. Opening through some felled banana trunks which were rotten, i came accross a large number of this worms.

I heard its a delicacy in some areas of Nigeria. If its yours, what is the name and how do you prepare it?

Not that am interest in eating it, i want to improve my knowledge. Personally, anything other than Cow, Goat, Sheep, Pig, Chicken, Turkey and fish should not show up on my dining table.
