The insect Ogre her represented is the fierce and wily grub of the Ant-lion 

 (Formica Leo). On the fragment in the foreground it is shown in deformity 

 unveiled, and more backward is seen one of the cleverly-constructed pitfalls 

 in which it is accustomed to lie buried, all but its extended jaws, for the en- 

 trapment of its prey. The globular object towards the left is the puparium^ or 

 pupa-case, of this remarkable creature, itself remarkable for the smallness of its 

 size, as compared with that of the imago (winged insect), which is shown in 

 process of emergement from it. lu its perfect expansion, it soars above the 

 Ant-lion Fly complete. 



STORY OF AN OGRE.

 ever hurled by his subjects from one of those 

 cumbrous seats of a fashion now in course of 



explosion.
