[liy Thco. Carrcras. 



A Long-necked Ant-Lion. 



This remarkable Insect, which is found among the tombs and pyramids of Egypt, is believed to be an earlv stage of the winged Insect in the 

 air. The extraordinary elongation of the fore-body behind the head is probably to enable it to seek Insect victims in deep crevices. It is 

 represented on a large scale, its actual length being about half an inch.
