This insect is q native e China The
celebrated Geo. Stanton speaks of it as
not mueh exceeding the size of fly, hav-
ing very curious pectinaoed appendages,
rising in a curve. and bending towards the
head; the whole insect being covered with
a white powder This powdory substance
IS impaired to the stems Of the plants, up
on which these insects are fonnd in thick
clusters. 1t is then collected BY the ma
tives; hot vegetable OIL Is then applied,
and the whole, when cold, eoagulates and
becomes as firm as bees wax.
