Fig. 226. Jack brought a wasp,— minus ivings and legs. 



They were tired of their cramped quarters and were about to 

 explore the outside world. As we approached, they all 

 scrambled out and commenced climbing up the trunk. We 

 brought them down to a horizontal limb, but they were very 

 restless ; they had an idea that they were large enough to 

 fly and wanted to try it right away. Two of them were 

 quite bashful; every time we tried to focus the camera on 

 them they would slide down the back side of the limb to 

 get out of the view.
