Gammerstang commented on the word chapulines
Chapulines, plural for chapulín, are grasshoppers of the genus Sphenarium, that are commonly eaten in certain areas of Mexico. The term is specific to Mexico and Central America, and derives from the Nahuatl word chapolin t͡ʃaˈpolin (singular) or chapolimeh t͡ʃapoˈlimeʔ
