Why do sandflies bite us so fiercely? They are taking revenge on Tū, the god of humankind, for killing Namuiria, the first sandfly. Midges, moths, cicadas, mosquitoes and other insects feature in many traditional Māori stories, especially the battles fought by Tāne, guardian of the forest and its tiny creatures.
Ko te take e ngau kino ai te namu, he whai utu i a Tūmatauenga, nāna i patu a Namuiria, te namu tuatahi ki te ao. He nui ngā kōrero a te Māori ka whai wāhi ai ngā naonao, pēpepe, kihikihi, waeroa, aha atu. Tērā ngā kōrero mō ā rātou pakanga ki a Tāne, te kaitiaki o te ngahere me ngā mea katoa ki roto.
