Group of Asaro "Bug Hunters" tribesmen (Papua New Guinea). HUMANKIND, my premium, limited-edition, museum-quality standard book featuring over 200 large-format photos is available here: https://robertopazziphoto.com #book Some Asaro groups are associated with a distinctive form of insect gathering. Edible insects, naturally rich in protein, play a significant role in the diet of many communities in Papua New Guinea living in remote areas where livestock is limited. Hunters travel through the forest carrying small clay vessels on their heads that contain glowing embers. The gentle heat and smoke help expose insects hidden in trees or under bark and can begin to cook them during collection. This head carried fire practice is practical in dense forest where hands must remain free. Together these traditions reflect deep knowledge of the environment and a long history of adapting to the landscape.
