Seite 175 - Socrates appears to have measured the leap of a flea, and found it extended to two hundred and fifty times its own length ; a most astonishing leap !

Yet this procedure is that adopted by the larva of the dragonfly, provided with this strange organ.
Seite 57 - The eggs, it may be remarked, are thrust sufficiently deep to prevent their being thrown off when the caterpillar casts its skin ; and, being in due time hatched, the grubs feed in concert on the living body of the caterpillar. The most wonderful circumstance, indeed, of the whole phenomenon, is the instinct with which the grubs are evidently guided to avoid devouring any vital part, so that they may not kill the caterpillar, as in that case it would be useless to them for food. When full grown,...
Seite 243 - Joel 1:12; in doing which, they kept their ranks like men of war, climbing over, as they advanced, every tree or wall that was in their way; nay, they entered into our very houses and bedchambers like thieves.
