Quizfrage

What is a Maribomba?

Antwort

The yellow paper wasp (Polistes versicolor), which is common on Curacao, has the funny-sounding name Maribomba in the local language Papiamentu.

This name has its origins in the Bantu language Kimbundu, in which wasp means “marimbondo”. Once again, the connection between Curacao’s slavery past and the influence of an African language on the creole language Papiamentu becomes clear.

We were told that the sting of a maribomba is quite painful. But so far we have been spared.
