The Traditions of the Hopi, by H.R. Voth, [1905], at sacred-texts.com
Many locusts live in valleys around Oraíbi. Children capture many, which women roast in pots with salt water. Voting men used to hunt jack rabbits, and cotton-tail rabbits, but prefer to hunt locusts. While old woman is stirring locusts in pot, one of them becomes alive, sings song about locusts being meat instead of rabbits, while slowly crawling up stirring stick. Woman replies to it and locust flies away with hissing sound.
