from /Kaggen, the trickster mantis
The name comes from /Kaggen, the praying mantis trickster figure from San (Bushman) mythology of Southern Africa. /Kaggen was a shapeshifter and dreamer who moved between the animal and human worlds — a fitting spirit for an app that helps you notice and remember the wildlife around you.
