This infecft is very deftruclive to flour, as well as to mofl: forts of grain, and no

 of different kinds, that breed alfo among the corn in America, which are 

 equally deftru&ive.

The Lady Capricorn. 



This infeft is extremely beautiful ; it is of a dark (hining green colour, with a 

 mixture of gold, and generally about an inch and a half in length; but the body 

 is moderately flender in proportion. The antenna are feldom under three inches in 



length, and arch back a good way beyond the 



wings 



as it flies. Every part 



of the infedl abounds with vifcid clammy particles, of a ftrong difagreeable fmell, 

 with which the fpirits wherein they are preferved are readily impregnated. The 

 fmeli holds for a confiderable time, even upon the fingers.
