NTU NTU BUG

NTU NTU BUG
"The dry yellow grasses there had been cut low but still were occupied by hopping ntu ntu bugs, their brilliant orange-pink pigmentation eye-catching in the sunlight."

  1. Ntu Ntu Bugs are also briefly mentioned in Akata Warrior in one of the Nsibidi portions.

  2. Interesting the name. I used the same name without knowing anything about Nnedi Okorafor here http://tuscriaturas.blogia.com/2014/020201-los-ntu-ntu.php

    But it was a coincidence most probably.
