IN FEATHERS AND FUR. 213 
Is not that a strange and wonderful history, of such a tiny 
atom of a Beetle as this ? Think of the patience and carefulness of 
the man who found this dot of a creature buried in the body of a 
common bee, got it out, put it into a microscope and studied it, so 
as to be able to give its whole history. How many dozens of the 
small creatures they must have caught and studied before they 
found out all the things that I've told you in a few minutes !
