LUCY, Mamma, here is a little fly, 
which I have brought in to show you ; I 
found it in the sunny lane, leading to 
the west wood, where we were taking 
our morning's walk. You never saw 
such numbers as there were flying through 
the air, and lighting in crowds on our 
white frocks. 
Mother, Put it under this glass ; we 
may examine it there without hurting it. 
What order does it belong to r 
Lucy, To hymenoptera, I believe, be- 
cause it has four membranaceous wings.
