in swurms in the presence OF guests.

about their task in this way:

they have had time to recover and fly

The skilled hunter, sparing no time
to put them at once into his bag, uses
both hands to pick them up, and he
losses them lightly into his apron,
where he holds them unharmed until
it can contain no more Then he trans

This work proceeds until about 2
o'clock in the morning. at which hour
the insects are beginning to leave the
trees for the dewy soil. Then the
hunter changes his tactics. He brushes
