The Worm depicted in the 128th. Table, was bred of rotten dryed Fish called Scate.
Nature cannot be idle; the corruption of one is the generation of another; and from rottennesse, especially in a hot and moist matter (which seems to be most apt for generation,) divers Animalls are produced.
I experienced this Worm the 26th. of May; to be changed into an egg; and a Great Fly to be bred of that egg the 21st. of Iune, depicted in the Table.
