sounds good. Now "batci" appears to require a pair (or more) of opposing jaws 
or the like, so a horsefly, but not a mosquito, cu batci. And some animals that 
tunta inject something, while others suck blood. So what do the following?:
mosquito
horsefly
flea
front-fanged snake
rear-fanged snake
side-fanged snake
fangless snake
aphid
leech
