"Zompopos de Mayo" Estas hormigas aladas, científicamente conocidas como Atta cephalotes, emergen en grandes cantidades cuando inicia la época lluviosa en busca de pareja y para establecer nuevas colonias. Este fenómeno se conoce como «vuelos nupciales». Mencionadas desde el Popol Vuh, estás "hormigas cortadoras" han estado presentes en la cultura de Guatemala y en su gastronomía también.

Debido al consumo desmedido, alteración de habitat y clima, la salida de zompopos ha disminuido y ahora se han convertido en un antojo limitado de alto costo, el año pasado averiguamos que la libra costaba alrededor de Q80.00. ¿Que opinan ustedes? ¿Valdría la pena regular su consumo? Admito que saben delicioso, yo he cómido cuando me ofrecen y el rito de preparación me es facinante, algo muy único de nuestra cultura.

En lugares como San Martín Jilotepeque, un municipio en el centro del país, los zompopos de mayo son una delicatessen culinaria y en donde es común recolectar y consumir estos insectos durante su temporada, que generalmente comienza en junio. Los zompopos de mayo son ricos en proteínas y nutrientes, y se pueden comer tostados en comal de barro o metal, aderezados con mantequilla, sal y limón. Su sabor se asemeja al de maní tostado o chicharrones de cerdo y es apreciado por su textura crujiente.
