NATURAL HISTORY OF THE LOCUST.

The following information concerning the
habits Of the seventeen years locust, given by
Il writer in the Boston Advertiser, will be
found interesting at the present time. In
calling att .ntion to it, we would suggest to
students Of natural history the prOpriety Of
making accurate observations ofthcse curious
insects, during their present appearance:
The locust's lavOrite resort is that of a
copse of Young and rather thin oak wood,
where the soil is rather soft and light. They
are first discovered in the grouEd near the
surface, in the form Of a large grub or worm,
and quarter of an inchiN diameter. Where
or in what mode they pass through the crysa-
lis state, and become fully invested with
wings and other members, | donot know but
they are soon tound in vast numbers, and in 4
full chorus of sonorous voices, among the
branches Of the small trees They have a
distinctly marked W found on the back. In
this stage OF their lives they do not seem TO
feed On opening one, the body appears TO
be a mere hollow Shell. without any feeding
or digesting organs. They continue in this
state. | believe. about six weeks or two
months .a.--.,.r- .... .,... ....
shortly before their disappearance, many
of the small twigs of the young oaks appear
10 be girlled and partially cut off. and hang
suspended from the extremity ofthe branches.
The leaves turn red as when touched by
frost in Autumn. On examination these
twigs appear to be sawed about tWo-thirdS
Of and grdled, so that the circulation of sap
being cut off, il soon dies, and probably falls
10 the ground during the ensuing winter by
the action Of wind, rain and snow.
The general belief is, that by a curious and
remarkable instinct, the insect is led 10 de-
post its eggs in some secure mode upon these
small twigs. and then thus partially to sever
them from the parent stock, So that by their
fall the eggs shall be borne gently and safely
to the ground, into whose bosom they are IN
some form received and cherished. 10 reap
pear in the corm Of full-grown locusts, after
the lapse of seventeen years. lamn0t aware
that this fact of the deposit of eggs upon the
falling twig has been verified by actual obser-
walton, il is one fthe points which require
careful examination.
