The fingular ftrudlure of the antennas of this minute Infefl-, re- 

 commends it to particular notice. They are nearly as long as the 

 body, and in the thickeft part are very bulky; hence it has received 

 the fpecific name Spifficornis, or large horned Cimex. 



It is not uncommon in fummer; flies amongft bufhes or low 

 herbage in the day time : the lower wings are of a very beautiful 

 purple colour, and give a blackifh hue to the outer wings when 



folded
