It is conjectured that the insect had settled upon the vine and 
becoming somewhat benumbed by the cool of evening, was easily 
entrapped by the outreaching tendril, which had wound itself quite 
tightly, twice about the insect's body, near the joint of the seventh 
and eighth abdominal regments. 
The prisoner remained quite lively for several days, often fly- 
ing out to the length of its vegetable rope, until it finally perished 
at the hands of a careless observer. 
After our attention had been drawn to this curiosity, several 
instances of the entrapping of smaller species of the order Odonata 
by vine tendrils were also noted. In these cases the insects had 
been made prisoner by the tendrils entwining itself about their 
limbs. C. E. Brown.
