IN CAMP. 



sho\\n here enlarged, the ' ant lion ' grub. 

 He is the constructor of this ingenious 

 trap, and having built it, he secretes him- 

 self at the bottom with only his pincers 

 or jaws protruding out at the pointed 

 bottom of the little pitas shown on p. 129. 

 After seizing his struggling prey, he 

 makes an incision into its anatomy and 

 sucks it dry and then again buries himself 

 at the bottom of his parlour and patiently 

 awaits what a kind fortune and his own 

 clever handiwork will send him. 



The Animal Kingdom is made up of 

 two great groups of animals, the preda- 

 tory animals, and the preyed upon. In 

 the Insect World, as we have already 

 seen, this also holds good as the old 

 popular jingle has it 



Greater bugs have lesser bugs, 

 And so ad iiifinitum. 



It is too big a subject to enter on here, 

 but it is worth while depicting types of 

 two common predaceous groups met 

 with in the jungles.
