Edible insects are considered as important dietary component. The present study explores and documents the practices of consuming different insects and insect products as food by the Boros of Murara, Kamrup district, Assam. Field survey was conducted from June 2021 to November 2021 following interviews through structured questionnaires. The study documented 15 species of insects belonging to 13 families such as Saturniidae, Formicidae, Apidae, Gryllidae, Scarabaeidae, Dytiscidae, Mantidae, Termitidae, Tettigoniidae, Acrididae, Gomphidae, Belostomatidae and Vespidae to be consumed as food by the Bodos. Insects are seasonal but some can thrive in all the environmental conditions. For the Bodos, pupae of eri silkworm and eggs of weaver ants are regarded as delicacy. Culinary practice of insects varies from raw to roasted, which ensures the prevalence of entomophagy in the region since ages. Preference and acceptance of insects as food were found the highest among the elderly people. Insects too serve as the means of livelihood for the people. The study recognises edible insects as one of the important components of food in the region and assures the need for conservation and management for the better utilisation of the insect resource.
