The Hessian Fly has only two

All insects undergo certain chan
ees and transformations which embar-
rass ordinary observers; being seen
In different states, they ere taken for
different insects. These changes are
four: |. The ovum or egg. s.Ihe lar
va. maggot or caterpillar state. (this
is its eating period.) s. The crysa-
lis, pupa, or dormant state. 4. The
emago. butterfly. or perfect insect.
All the other states are subordinate

come q parent. and with wonderful
instinct. or rather directed by its ma

turning heat it is brought forth in
more resplendent state of existence,
apparently partaking of higher enjoy
ments, and is the emago, the butter
fiy, or perfect insect.
The egg of the Wheat Tipula, or
Hessian Fly,is generally deposited be-
tweep the lowermost leaf Of the wheat
and the part which forms the main
stalk or straw, as near the root as

straw. 1t resembles at first a very
small white nit; and as it grows, be-
