METAMORPHOSIS. 13 



Comes to a fourwinged imago, 

 Aud the •vvings are folded over 

 At the very tips and crossing, 

 Aud the bottom half is leathery. 

 And the outer half transparent, 

 Or when all the wings are gauzy, 

 Quite alike and meeting rootlike, 

 Then Hemipteea we call them. 

 Class Hemiptera, or Half Wings. 

 Now look we to the mouth, my Laura : 

 These Hemiptera, or Half Wings, 

 Differ much in their wing fashion, 

 But the mouth is never varied. 

 Straight and tubular for sucldng, 

 Without any jaws for biting. 

 Here Avill end our second lesson. 

 After once the names repeating : 

 Lepidoptera, or Scale Wings ; 

 Then come Diptera, or Two Wings ; 

 Hymenoptera, or Clear Wings, 

 Eecollect that these are stinging ; 

 Coleoptera, or Case Wings ; 

 Then Stegoptera, or Roof Wings ; 

 Then Neuroptera, or Net Wings ; 

 Then Orthoptera, or Straight Wings ; 

 Aud Hemiptera, or Half Wings.
