INSECT INTRUDERS, 



Tin Gods (my caligraphy is none of the 

 best unfortunately and my typist trans- 

 posed these last words into ' Tree Grubs' !) 

 seated on the Olympian Heights would 

 say when faced by such a conundrum. 

 Those numerous and bulky tomes yclept 

 the Famine Reports and Guides and 

 Rules for Guidance are silent as to what 

 should be done ! 



We think the Bengali Babu would have 

 some reason in such a case for a wire to 

 the effect * Lakri kiras in fields. Please 

 wire steps to do.' The Junior Secretariat 

 Walla would be put to it ! 



Of all sizes are these curious insects, 

 from half an inch or less to the Assam 

 one shown on the next page, of 8 inches 

 in length. 



By the way the stick folk are cleverer 

 than man in one respect. If they lose 

 a leg they are able to grow another in its 

 place ! What glorious risks one could 

 take if one could do ditto and had six 

 legs to play about with ! !
