The *kalukati* is that tiny, almost invisible ninja insect that attacks you during your beach trip at dusk. You don't see it, you don't hear it, but the next day you have 20 itchy red spots that make you question all your life choices. They're the uninvited guests at every provincial outing.
More commonly known as 'niknik' in many regions.
