The Mouse-catching Locust at Home. 



These powerful Insects are hero shown (natural size) hunting for their animal food. One has caught a mouse, another one of the large 

 bird-spaders, and others are on the watch for any small animals that may come in their way. This spiny-leg);ed grasshopper of the 

 Congo affords, iirobably, the most remarkable example of a hunting Insect.
