Natures Children
Tiger Beetle
(Cicindelidae)

Since we will see many common
beetles this summer, it is we'll to
know something about the order.
1t is the largest among insects and
its scientific name, Coleoptera,
means "sheath-wing" You will find
some of the most beautifully colored
insects in the world among them
and they are easily collected and
preserved.
This is how you will recognize a
beetle (adult), by their horny wing
covers, called elytra, which meet in
a straight line down the center of
the back. And under these horny
cases will be pair of membranous
wings which are folded transversely.
Then look at the mouthparts-the
strong jaws for biting and cutting.
There is a complete metamorphosis.
This means the grubs are generally
nude and creamy white and are
found in the ground, under the

facing them, then when the prize
was almost within reach-flash!
the tiger beetles had escaped.
As a matter of fact, the youthful
tiger beetles are more fun to watch.
They have fine little dugouts and
into them they back. Their hard
brown heads are used for q door,
unless 1t is mealtime. when these
young rascals wait for some luck
less creeper to come along. The
wide, hungry, capable jaws at this
time are open to capacity and the
unsuspecting victim walks right into
the trap. The jaws clamp down so
fast, the late insect neighbor never
had even a chance to struggle.
Sometimes, the catch is so large the
tiger beetle junior pulls it down into
the dark hall below and takes
plenty Of time devouring 1t.
The tiger beetle is not lazy. If
you care to do little investigating
you will find rather plump fellow
with a strange hump close to his

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY,

The very name tiger suggests
the predaceous habits CT this fear
some appearing insect. AS you
walk along shady roads, keep your
eyes open for the beautiful blue
green shiny tiger taking a nap in
the blazing sun. At first you will
think you are seeing bright bit of
metal, until your footsteps acquaint
the brilliant one, that to run is far
safer than to remain. This agile
sprinter will elude your outstretched
hand and in a flash is down into his
dugout.
Can you imagine what this crea-
ture must look like to its foes?
Look at his jaws and large eyes!
His long legs carry him swiftly to
a place of safety and he can fly if
need be. The take-off is amazingly
quick, which is contrary to most
beetles.

on the project from the chief Of

submitted to the President, who re-
turned it with a notation that he

Tiger beetles are slender and have
beautiful spots or dots upon their
shiny armor. When they are cor

capture them have reached. oh, so

now pursuing.
If you substitute quarantine" for
coalition" Mr.. Roosevelts pre-
scription for checking aggression
was as much like the Prime Minis
ters program as two peas in a pod.
The President declared at Chicago
that "the present reign OF terror
and world lawlessness has reached
a stage which seriously threatens
the very foundations OF civilization.
and the epidemic is spreading" The
Prime Minister on April 3 referred
to the growing consciousness that
we cannot live forever In the at
mosphere of surprise and alarm
with which Europe has suffered IN
recent months" In October. 1887,
Mr. Roosevelt said that when an
epidemic starts, the community joins
in a quarantine. Mr. Chamberlain
told Parliament that he hopes Brit
aims readiness to aid the victims OF
aggression will prove to be a turn
ing point not toward war, but toward
soA1e wholesome era when reason
will supplant force and threats make
way for argument" Mr.. Roosevelt
anticipated that formula at Chicago
when he affirmed that for the very
reason that America hates war.
there must be positive endeavor to
preserve peace"
1t IS, Of course. such positive en-
deavors." that Britain and France
have now ndertaken-tardily un-
dertaken, because during the inter-
val since the Roosevelt quarantine"
proposal Hitler has remade the map
Of Europe. Japan has conquered
China. and Franco. with the aid of
German and italian volunteers"
has subdued the republic of Spain.
1t can hardly be doubted that II the
Roosevelt doctrine of concerted ac-
ton to thWart aggression had met
with more enthusiastic approval
than 1t evoked either In this coun-
try or in Europe, much Of the
worlds sad history during the past
l8 months would not have been
written Today, long after the horse
was stolen, the stable door is being
locked. To keep the record straight,
it is worth recording that the Presi-
