Description
A mosquito house. A beehive shaped, circular, inner framework of switches is struck into the ground. This is then thatched with paperbark and heavily thatched with grass. There are 1 or 2 doorways, plugged with grass, and entry is gained only by crawling. Smoky fires are lit and a hole in the roof is just sufficient to allow the smoke to escape.,
