What invokes insects
The Wayùus myths swarm with little creatures, often described as transmitters between the celestial realm of beings who, in an original past, helped give the world its stable seasonal cycles and its more unpredictable climatic events, the underground of invisible creatures, of death and the earthly one of humans. Besides the stories that bring into play the significant cosmogenic roles of insects, some creatures can support important assumptions of daily life. That they treat them as invaders with the power pülasü of the spirits, whether they are heard to announce the coming of Jepirachi, the northeast wind, or that we understand them to compensate for damage, these beasts evoke for the Wayùus well more than some unimportant animals. In the eyes of the Wayùus they reveal the importance of the inherent driving force of the moods and temperaments of beings able to render the world hospitable or not.
