Plant impales Insects.

There Is in Cuba q curious grass,

with tiny sharp-pointed spikeletS upon
which multitudes Of insects are I'm
paled by night as we'll as by day.
The wings OF the victims are pierced
and entangled by the barbed spines,
so Il at the most of them are unable
to get away, and thus perish miser-
ably.
Even a large, luminous swapping
beetle, which is so strong and active
that it can with difficulty be held in
the hands. falls a victim TO these

insects. q large bug. Oebalus, and an

caught. The grass does not appear to
derive any nOurisbment from its prey.
1t is found elsewhere in the West
