A typical dish in ant sauce is seen in the restaurant Color de Hormiga in Barichara May 19, 2009. Every year during the April-June season thousands of Colombian farmers and inhabitants of Santander province collect ants culonas (Atta Laevigata) as part of a traditional ritual in the region. The ants, named "Culonas" for their big size, are cooked and sold as exotic, specialized food.
