OBSERVAT. XXIX. The Sycomore-Locust.
THere is a pretty little yellow Insect, which is bred, and feeds on the Sycomore-leaves, which at first hath no wings, but six leggs and two horns, and runs nimbly up and down: In the Glass, I could not onely see its eyes, which are red, globular, goggled and pro∣minent; but also I could see them very perfectly latti∣ced. She had two horns, which at the ends were slit and bi-furcated: I could, near her shoulders, see the stumps of her growing wings: This at last is transpeciated in∣to a Fly with two long wings; or rather a Locust: it consists of Annulary Circles, and has hairs towards the tayl.
