Thofe beautiful Infects vary fomething in fize and colour, the fpots 
on the elytra are generally white, but are often found with fpots of 
yellow ; they fly or run quick, are carnivorous, and live in dry fandy 
places. Inthe {pring its larva is found, which refembles a long, foft, 
whitifh worm, with fix legs and a brown fcaly head; it perforates 
the fand perpendicularly, and refts near the furface to enfnare fmaller 
infects. 
It is very difficult, if at all poffible, to breed thofe infects and ob- 
ferve their metamorphofes ; we have tried various methods, but have 
not yet been fo fortunate as to fucceed.
