attached a number of tubes containing

The fairy flies (mymaridae) are the
most minute of flying insects, ranging
al they do from the smallest, which IA

in length. to the largest. which is I'M
der the one-fiftieth Of an inch. And
yet, according 10 Mr.. EnOeh, who has
devoted twenty-five years 10 the study
OF these microscopic animals, they are
perfect insects, with biting mouth, club
wings, antennae, eyes, etc. The fairy
files, which are egg parasites, exist
abundantly on all kinds OF grass and
heritage. and may be easily swept on
with the net They are dormant through
the winter. but are active in summer,
especially In June. Mr.. Enoch In one
case, with the microscope, watched
during eighteen hours the development
OF the germ of one species after being
implanted until the maggot was seen
feeding ON the fluid of the egg.
