Mystery Animal #15: Mbu

Mmmmmmmmbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
In Africa they say that long ago I proposed marriage to a human one day
She laughed at me, said I was frail and weak, and told me to buzz away
Humiliated I did as she bid, but the anger has grown with the years
Sweet revenge I vowed I'd forever get by buzzing in her children's ears
I do this to remind you human folk that though I seem insignificant to you
I too persist to live on this earth and even the small should be given their due
mmmmmmmmmmmmmbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
