Insects as Food.

The natives Of Mexico and the white
colonists both regard the honey-ant OF
that country as choice bit of food
In the wonderful economy of the ants
there are some set aside as food for
the winter months, and these hang
themselves up to the roof of the cells
while the others feed them.
West Indian negroes and sometimes
the white settlers eat the grub of a
big weevil which is found in palm
trees. 1t is perfectly raw when eaten.
There is a butterfly to be found on
the Mediterranean which lives entire
ly upon fish. It is covered with mere
apology for shell, and sailors on the
Mediterranean are very fond Of it.
