XAMUES Thasus gigas I already defined in detail this insect, so I will not give me the job again. I will only say that it is one of the 88 beetles that in Mexico have been eaten since pre-Hispanic times for its high content of protein and vitamin K. They are eaten tatemados al comal when they are in the larval state, between 2 and 3 weeks of age, because as adults they have a bitter taste.
