The Insect and tho Net.

II has been known for a long time
that an insect viii not fly through a
net With meshes three or four times as
large as its body. whereas a bird will
go through a mesh Of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect can
not tell us why It stops and lights on
the net without trying to go through
and its peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
up, as they do all things of that kind
They say that the eye Of the insect is
made up Of many facets, so that the
net looks to it like a continuous opaque
surface, the meshes not being appar-
ent. Therefore 1t stops or turns back
before it discovers that 1t might have
gone through the net without stopping
To the eye Of the bird, however, the
meshes are plainly visible, and 1t goes
through without hesitation.
