[ENGLISH NAME: Kachina] Death Fly [HOPI NAME: Katsina] Mastop [MEANING OR STORY:] 
The Mastop or Death Fly Kachina is the second Kachina to appear on the Third Mesa only. He always arrives in pairs on the next to last day of the Soyal Ceremony. He represents a prayer of fertility for the Hopi women from their dead Hopi ancestors. In pairs, they would seek women from child to the very oldest, grab their shoulders from behind, and make a series of small hops indicating copulation. All Hopi women do not shy away from his embrace because it is a serious fertility rite.
