AN INSECT FREE-BOOTER, AND AN INSECT BEGGAR. 



The extraordinary looking insect shown towards the top is the lepismid, or fleet-foot, who 

 lives by stealing food from ants when they are in the act of passing it from one to the 

 other. The atemeles beetle shown below is begging food, which will not be refused, from 

 the ant in front of him.
