The House-Cricxer. 
fo IS differs very little, if any thing, in Shape, from the Field-Cricket 
already defcribed, except that the Noife it makes is loud and pur- 
ring. 
When they make this Noife, I have obferved their Pofition to be ftand-. 
ing very upright upon their Legs, with their Wings extended archwife, 
the middle Part {welling from their Bodies, and their Extremities touch- 
ing them near the lower Part of the Addomen. 
The Fuy-Catcuer. 
ae HIS is of the Spider-kind, differing from it chiefly by a Pair of For- 
cipes, which rife from each Side of the Neck. 
It hath Four Legs on each Side. 
They jump or dart forward often full Ten Inches, to feize the Flies, 
which are their Prey. 
The HousE-SpipEr. 
HIS is a dark-brown hairy Spider, having a large Head joined to 
the Abdomen by a flender Ligament. 
The Body is fupported by Eight Legs; the Two foremoft extending 
above Two Inches afunder. 
Near the Mouth come out Two fhort, tho’ ftrong, Feelers, 
It carries its Young in a white {mall Bag under its Belly. 
Tho’ the Sight of thefe Spiders is not agreeable ; yet are they fervice. 
able in Houfes, by deftroying Cock-Roches, which are both offen- 
five by their Smell, and deftruGive to Vidctuals, Cloaths, and Books. 
The Fizrnp-Spiper. 
Ah HIS very much refembles thofe of the fame Species in England, 
The FUAT-BACK’p SpipER. 
THIS, in the Number of its Legs, and the Make of its Forceps, re- 
fembles the Italian Tarantula ; differing chiefly in the Number of its 
Eyes, which in the latter are Eight, in the former Two. 
The Bite of this is very near as painful as the Stinging of the Surinam 
Scorpion, caufing an immediate Swelling, with acute throbbing Pain, 
which continues for feveral Hours without Intermiffion, 
The GoLpEN Spinper. 
"THis is called the Golden Spider, from the bright Gold-colour Lifts, 
with which its Legs, and fome Part of the Body, are marked.
