tiecaufe the Lepidoptera, efpecially, re- 

 femble an infant in fwaddling clothes ; 

 and in thisftate all, except thofeof the 

 Hemiptera clafs, take no nourifh- 

 ment. 



Imago, is the third ftate. This name 

 is given by Linnasus to this third 

 change, in which the infecl: appears in 

 its proper fhape and colours ; and as it 

 tmdergoes no more transformations it is 

 called perfect. In this ftate it flies, is 

 capable of propagating its fpecies, and 

 receives true antennse ; which before, in 

 moft infetts, were fcarce apparent. 



As the fhape of the Pupa is different, 

 in different claffes of infects, it affumes 

 different names ; thus it is called, 



Coartlata, when it is round, and as 

 it were turned, without the leaft re- 

 femblance of the ftruclure of the infect, 

 as in the Diptera.
