this year. They fret appear in the form Of a
sluggish and unsightly brown beetle, aud emerge
| from the ground through small holes, the ground
| in some places being so thickly perforated as to
resemble 4 honey comb. When they have
emerged from these holes, they crawl up aud at

there remain basking in the sun until the perfect
| locust is matuTcd.
