Mosquitoes are known as fugo or fugo’e (fugo, mosquito; ’e’, 
diminutive). Cf. Taos qwitolaand; Isleta tankinaze; Piro (Bartlett’s 
vocabulary) ‘‘quen-lo-a-tu-ya-é”’; Jemez tldharwijd. 
The inch-long ill-smelling black beetle of the Tewa country is 
called p'egapwsayde’® (pega, to stink acridly; pu’, base, buttocks, | 
anus; s@y, ———— ?; de’*, ———). 
Po‘ta-we (po-, squash, pumpkin; fa:, dry ?; we, — ?) are the same 
as po'p'e’, ‘squash lice’ (po*, squash, pumpkin; p‘e’, head louse). The 
names refer to a kind of brown jumping bug seen on squash and 
pumpkin vines. 
Worms of the most diverse kinds—maggots, larvee, caterpillars, and 
almost any worm-like animals—are called pubs. A hairy, fuzzy cater- 
pillar is spoken of as pubs p‘o’v’', ‘hairy worm’ (pubs, worm; p’o, 
hairy, hair). The larvee seen so plenteously at times on willow leaves 
are called jaypubs’, ‘willow worms’ (jay, willow; pubs, worm). 
Sa'pube*, ‘manure worms’ (sa*, manure; pubs, worm) are the 
larve seen in manure; tape-worms, pin-worms, and other worms 
infesting the intestines are also called thus. 
Angle-worms have a special name: nd@*ysi’ (nd‘y, earth; si’, unex- 
plained). 
CRUSTACEANS, MyrIAPops, AND ARACHNIDS

Tse ka, ‘spruce brownness’ (tse, Douglas spruce; ka*, buff-brown 
color, said to be so called because they are hairy like spruce trees, 
and brown) is applied to any kind of centipede, millipede, or myria- 
pod. Many kinds are common. It is said that one bitten by a 
tse‘ka* will live as many years as the animal has legs, which is usually 
a considerable number. The legs are called k‘o’, ‘arms,’ as are also 
the legs of a spider. 
Scorpions are very scarce. In the summer of 1911 Mr. K. A. 
Fleischer found one about half an inch long in the Rito de los Frijoles 
Canyon. The Tewa who have been asked do not know the name of 
this animal. 
Any kind of spider is called ’@’we-. The second syllable of the 
word sounds just like we’, ‘tooth,’ and gives the name an ugly sound 
to Tewa ears. A spider web is called ’é’we'p‘e’, ‘spider trap’ (@ we’, 
spider; p‘e’, trap, snare). Tarantulas also are called ’@’ we, but the 
proper name is ke‘tu*puje, ‘bear back deerskin’ (ke*, bear, any species; 
tu’, back, spinal column; pujé, dressed skin of deer, elk, etc.). They 
are quite common. Their holes are called p‘o’, ‘hole.’ An old Indian 
who is usually very correct in his identifications called a green dip- 
terous insect taken from a Populus angustifolia tree ’@ we ts@-ywe'’t”*, 
‘blue or green spider’ ('@’ we’, spider; tsd-ywe’, blue, green).
