THE ORTHOPTERA OF MINNESOTA. 



:^'- 







A Swarm of Locusts. 



Onward they come, a dark, continuous cloud 

 Of congregated m^^riads numberless. 

 The rushing of Avhose wings was as the sound 

 Of a broad river, headlong in its course 

 Plunged from a mountain summit, or the roar 

 Of a wild ocean in the autumn storm, 

 Shattering its billows on a shore of rocks. 



— SOUTHEY.
