Growing up: Do you remember eating this? Share your experience.

We call it esunsun(Dont no the English), they fly around in the night during rainy season and they're attracted to fluorescent bulbs, halogen lamps and so on. We capture them using brooms, we put them in bowl/bucket of water and fry with salt, pepper etc.

Ate it today, delicious....
