Insect AmbrOsia.

THE timber beetles that inhabit
L. orange trees in Florida are nour-
ished in their youth with a peculiar
kind OF food. TO which the name OF
'am bT osia" has been given.
All young students of Greek know
that ambrosia was the food OF the
NEUROLOGICAL gods on Olympus. and
II may be inferred that naturalists
think the Florida beetles live like the
little six-legged pagan deities.
The insects bore chambers and gal
leries IN the trunks of the trees and
their young are hatched in these gal
leries. Where the pores Of the wood
inteTsect the passages the sap COL
lects in the form of little white but
tons, and apparently undergoes fer
.mentation which changes 1t into the
so-called ambrosia, on which the
larvae feed. The buttons Of ambrosia
are ornamental as we'll as useful, CIV
Ing a fine tessellated finish tc the
galleries that are lined with them.
Sometimes the ambrosia collects so
abundantiy that, on becoming covered
with q growth Of minute fungus, ii
completely chokes up the passages
and entrances of the galleries, turn
ing them into suffocating dungeons
from which the larvae are unable to
escape.
