Wine of Squills. 



WlNE-Mfiz/arf. 

 WifiE/upra. 



WitiE-Fly, in Natural Hi/lory, the name of a fmall black 1 

 fly, found in empty wine-cafks, and about wine-lees, and I 

 called by the Latins, Bibio. 



It is produced of a fmall red worm, very common in the j 

 fediment of wine. 



The drippings of wine or beer veffels, the preffings of 

 the wine or cyder prefs, the pots in which honey has been 

 kept, and in which a little remains fticking to the fides, 

 and turning four, all afford vail numbers of a fmall fpe. 

 cies of worm or maggot. This is of a white colour, 

 and has two hooks placed near the head ; in (hort, it re- ' 

 fembles in all the parts the maggot of the common ■ 

 flefh-fly. Multitudes of thefe fmall creatures live and I 

 move very brilkly about in thefe fubftances for feveral ! 

 weeks together ; but at the end of that time, when they ! 

 have arrived at their full growth, they enter into the 

 nymph-ftate under a covering or cafe made of their own 

 lliin, which dries, and becomes of a brown colour. 

 After eight or ten days in this ftate, the cafe is opened 

 by the falling off of a fmall piece at the end, and the fly 

 makes . its way out. The fly is extremely fmall when 

 its wings are not extended. 



It does not exceed the fize of the head of a middling 

 pin ; it is however very beautiful ; the breaft and body 

 are yellow, the reticulated eyes are red, and the wings 

 have all the rainbow-colours. The bell way of procur- 

 ing thefe little flies, which make a very beautiful mi- 

 crolcope objeft, is to keep the matter, in which the 

 worms are placed, in a glafs, covered down with a pa- 

 per ; as foon as the cover is taken off, at the time of their 

 being in the fly-flate, they rife up at once in the form of; 

 a cloud ; enough of them for obfervation will however 

 remain about the fides of the veflel. When examined, they 

 are found to have all the regular parts of the larger flies ; 

 their antennas are oval and flatted, and their legs, and every 

 other part, are as elegantly perfeft, as they are feen to be 

 in the moll elegant large fly. 



It is not known whether they are oviparous or viviparous ; 

 but this is to be obferved, that they give us great light 

 into the origin of animalcules in different fluids. 



Since we fee in thefe the evident courfu' of nature in their 

 origin, what prevents but that there may be numbers of 

 flies yet fmaller then thefe, whofe eggs may be depofited in 

 the fluids in which we find our microfcope animalcules.
