Dassie Flashback Nymph. Another name for Dassie is Rock Hyrax. (Common S.A.name is rock rabbit or dassie.)
Expert Tip:
Bushwhacking our way out of another kloof, a friend and I set off a swarm of bees which sent us straight into the river making like clinger-type Mayfly nymph. We could not shake them off until we were 200m downstream. The only real damage was a pair of polariod sunglasses which were brushed off my face and ended up in pieces. Robin Fick
