usually flies about the end of May, and is

full growth abont the end OF July or the
frst of August in the more northern states,
and begin to spin their oocoons, which are
very large and composed of ar outer en-
velops of tough brown silk, as shown in

color and looser in texture. In the aouth-

Robber giles.

Among beneficial insects the robber flies
hold high rank. These are true flies Cor
der diptera) of a family which is called
asllldae. They are of comparatively large
size, with a slender body. strong hairy legs,
and with the mouth parts compacted into a
strong formidable book, with which they
nierce and suck the blood of other insects.
These flies are frequently seen, from early
in June to late in the summer, flying about
actively in the bright sunlight, searching
for their prey. They feed upon catsrpil-
lars, grasshoppers and other injurious in
sects, capturing them with a sudden dart
