nguk1Englishinsect type; mosquitoTok PisinmoskitoThe nguk lives in puddles or swamps or fresh water that’s stagnant in a drum or a coconut shell they have thrown away. It gives birth also in places like that. The nguk drinks the blood of people or animals. One of the things these nguk do is that they give diseases to people. The illness it gives, it is kukuah (malaria). And if it has bitten a person and flies away, then the site of the bite gets very itchy. When it has drunk blood and is full on it, then it will not fly a long distance because it is heavy with that blood it drank from the person or animal.rohon bát1.6.1.7Insectinsect
