~,Qne day last week, as JosErHSwi., of
Carlisle, turner, was sawing across a piece of
Cherry-tree, he was astoni4hed to dkcover in the
heart of the wood an insect of the beetle species)
,cc mmOnly called the ilAh-colo4red, 'or variegated
beetle, about three-quarters of an inch in 'teogth•;
and as there was no perforation in 'the out-
side. of -the thither, the insect must hare been
deposited while in the egg state, a consider-
able Gine ago, and gradually enlarged its apart-
ment, in proportion to its growth,. by gnawr
ing tlie Wood with its teeth ; as the orifice was
large enough to contain two itriects of its size.—
It is not easy to conceive how it could have ex—
iqed for any space of time without air, yet, when •
e.i.:3corcred, it was active and vigorous.
