Crimson

This little bug appears for just a few special weeks in Burkina. 

When I asked about it the kids told me this bug is in the bible. After searching on my own I finally asked Pastor Valentin where it could be found. He, of course, knew right away. "Isaiah chapter one" he said. When I looked I found it in verse 18. 

"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." 

And there it is... The english transition uses the word crimson and in the moore translation it uses the name of this little bug. It was some cool insight into the world of bible translation. And a cool visual aide for every time I read Isaiah 1:18.
