Pretty sure leppä is here in its archaic sense "blood", referring to the red colour of the insect. 4a617374726562 (talk) 20:01, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Seems that way, although SSA considers the sense "blood" to originally be an euphemism for the tree meaning. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 20:28, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
