 The grotesque forms shown above suggest that thev are creatures of an unhealthy imagination rather than living facts; and as thev 

 have no popular name we have designated them nightmare Insects. They are all considerably enlargetl. In the bottom right-hand 

 comer are the eggs of one species on a piece of wood, and above them m the upper comer are three stages ni the histor\- ot 

 another species, the perfect condition being represented by the parti-coloured meinbracid half-way up, whose true colours are 

 yellow and chocolate. All considerably enlarged.
