Raed 
In the preceding kind, the eggs are laid in the back part of the 
cavern where the creature lives; evenly arrang’d; and when the 
time of their hatching is near, the Fly brings in a number of 
flaughter’d Infeéts, for the food of the expected young ones: fhe 
then clofes up the mouth of the hole with mud, and her care is over. 
When the young worms hatch, they find their food ready ; and when 
they have eaten their fill, they reft, and take their change into the Fly. 
But this creature lays her eggs in the body of a living Caterpillar : 
they hatch, and eat that creature up, even while itfelf is feeding : 
at their appointed time they hatch: and ’twas long a wonder among 
the curious, how a Caterpillar produced this Fly, inftead of a 
Butterfly, or Moth; or how one Infect chang’d to many.

the fame fourth glafs was us’d to it; the creature being naturally of a 
fize nearly big enough to fhew its own particularities ; and always 
here the lefs magnifying is wanted, the lets is us’d.
