Bête-rouge
In Guiana there is a little insect in the grass and on the shrubs which the French call bête-rouge. It is of a beautiful scarlet colour, and so minute that you must bring your eye close to it before you can perceive it.
It is most numerous in the rainy season. Its bite causes an intolerable itching.
