bilby commented on the word mote-mote
"It’s the start of the rainy season in the southwest highlands of Cameroon – the time of year when opalescent thunderheads billow over the mountains, clouds of tiny insects called mote-motes swirl in the humid air and the banks of elephant grass that riot along the red-earth roadcuts seem to grow taller, greener and more vibrant by the day."
- Roff Smith, Before the storm in Cameroon, BBC website, 15 Sep 2011.

I've come across these buggers before - I think William Boyd mentions them in an essay on his West African nonage.
