90 EYE SPY 



has been called, and the peculiar method by which 

 he turns out the froth on the stem is well worth a 

 little study. He makes no secret of the process. 

 If we take a grass stem, remove him from his 

 liquid lair, and transfer him to another stem, we 

 may witness a novel method in the preparation of 

 suds. And a busy little factory it is, too, when we 

 consider what a continuous demand is made upon 

 it, caused by the sun's evaporation through the 

 long summer day. A single mass of bubbles with 

 its tenant removed quickly disappears. If the 

 little insect is permitted to crawl upon our hand, 

 he is apt to try the new domicile. I have never 

 been able to induce him to continue up to the 

 suds point, but have no trouble in locating the 

 place where he begins operations.
