Toktokkie


I am not sure what this is that visited us today, is it a frog, a cricket, or even a toktokkie? What is a toktokkie, you may be asking? A toktokkie is a Darkling beetle which makes a knocking sounds, hence the children's game of knocking on people's doors and running away, the game called tok-tokkie.
