Sept. 
Blue-bottle (see Fly). 
Boring Shell or Shipworm (Teredo and others) (? mwirog). 
? moi|Aeo5 (6). 
O'Reilly gives " small shell " as the meaning of the Irish word, 
but in Scotch-Gaelic it is applied especially to those mollusks 
which bore into logs of wood or even stones in the sea. Another 
word, t)6i|\eAi, used in the same' sense in Scotch-Gaelic is 
expressive, as it means an augur. 
Bug (shkartan). 
fce<i|\CAn (7). 
There are many kinds of plant-bugs in Ireland, but there 
does not seem to be any distinct name for the bed-bug. (See 
Louse). 
Butterfly (faeljacan). 
pei'teACATi (7), pei-oteACAn (7), •oeAlAn-'oe (6), •0AtAn-T)6 (7). 
The different kinds of butterflies are only distinguished in 
Irish by adding the names of their colours, thus peiteAc^n Dati 
is the Cabbage White butterfly. There is an Irish word for the 
caterpillar of the Tortoise-shell butterfly. (See Caterpillar and 
Maybug.) 
Caddis-worm (? durrog). 
? 'OUtAfOS (6). 
This Irish word may possibly be applicable to the caddis- 
worm, which is the curious larva of the caddis-fiy, as the 
Scotch equivalent " durrag (8) " is often applied to it. 
Caterpillar (dil-veal).
