The curious species OF flrefy known
as the Fuigora Ldnternaria or Lam
tern Fly, is large and handsome
insect. with wings varied with black
and yellow. The snout is long
straight. and curved upward, and the
light is said to emanate from its eX-
tremity as from lantern. It flies
high and hovers about the SUBMITS
of trees. Another species, the F
can deldrid, of China. is of a greenish
color varied with orange and black,
with long snout curved upward.
The causes which produce the light
in the glow.worm and similar insects
have been the subject of much discus
sion among naturalists. The most
recent writer's, however. agree that
the luminous tissue is made up Of fat
globules, permeated by numerous
trache8 conveying air, with no traces
Of nerves or blood vessels. 1t does
not appear satisfactorily determined
whether there may not be in this tissue
phosphoriZed fats which give forth
light on contact with oxygen, hydro
gen or nitrogen. The intermittence
of the light is believed to depend upon
the movements of respiration, and to
be entirely dependent of those of the
circulation. 1t is said that there is no
heat accompanying the light, though
it he true combustion and COM
bination of carbon with oxygen; this
may be owing to the rudness or i'm
perfection of our instruments, or to
the slowness or popularity of the
combustion.
