A CHAPTER ABOUT BUGS.
--o
THE STRANGE HA 1ITS OF
INSECVTS EXPLAINED.
An Hour With a Loading Egn tomologist
-Eight Thousand Beetios In Ono
Room--Bonuties of Natural History.
The reportor of a Northern paper
gives an interesting account .of a
visit paid to Mr. Andrew S. Fuller,
an ontomiologist, living at Ridge,
wood, New Jersey, who has spent
many years collecting bugs and
studying their habits. The follow
ing is a description of what the
reportor saw:
His office is neatly furnished. A
coal stove and plain writing table
occupy the centre of the room, and
a fine scientific library is ranged
against the wall. Cases of baugs in
sliding drawors stare the visitcr in
the face, and strange Counds are
frequently heard from old log and
decaying pieces of wood piled in
the room. Each is worked by the
grub of some bug or boetl3 whose
habits are the particular study of
IMr. Fuller. Thore are in the room
125 cases of beetlos alone, contain,
ing 7,450 species up to 1873. How
many have beo added to his collec,
tion since that time is not known,
but lie thinks several hundrod. Ho
has secured many snout bC3tle
mentioned in the work of Le Conte
and Horn recently published.
In answer to various questions,
Mr. .ullor said that no collection
included all th3 known species of
beetles in tho United States.
About 10,000 kjpds havo boon
classified and doscribod, and addi
tions are constantly being made.
made. There are prob%bly not loss
than 25,000 specics in the country,
15,000 of which are yet to be dis
covered.
"Do you confine yourself to the
collection oA botles alone ?" asked
the writer.
"Most bug collectors," he an
swered, "study during life but one
order or family. I am especially
interested in the beetlo. Taking
beetles, moths, butterflies, bugs,
flies, ants, etc.. together, there must
be over 100,000 different species
inhabiting the United States alone.
It is supposed that over 100,000
kinds of plants are scattered over
the world, and five distinct species
of insects prey upon each plant.
This would give us 500,000 kinds
of insects, and there are probably
many more. Taking this view of
the matter, it is no wonder that
individual bug collectors give their
timo to the study of but one order
or family.
"One family of beetles," continued
Mr. Fu]llcr, "works exclusively at
trees. Their grubs live and bore
into the timber. There, for in
stance, are the long-horned beetles,
551 species being already named
and described in the United States.
Every farmer knows the apple ti e
borer, which is one of the long
horned family."
"TilE DEsTRIUCTIVEXEss oF BlEETrLEs,
said Mr. Fuller, "may be imagined
when I tell you, t,hat some of their
grubs are as large as a man's finger,
and live in the trunk of a tree from
ton to tweaty years, before chang
ing their shape and becoming
beetles. All these years they are
constantly feeding. They go bor
ing through the trees like augora,
and leave trails as crooked andl
devious as the path of a ship in a
headwind. I have knowni grubs to
bore over fifty feet in oak trees,
before they were turned into
beetles. B3ut these grubs have
their enemies. The little wood
packer eats the eggs which he finds
on the bark of the tree, and nips
the grub as he is wvorking his way
in. As the forests are cut down,
woodpeckers become scarcer and
grubs increase."
"One might suppose," continued
tihe buggist, "when a grub is on,
cased in two inches of solid green
hard mlale, that he is pretty well
p rotected from the outside world.
But it is not so, for hero we have a
fly," drawing out one of his cases,
"that finds and destroys him."
There were r'ows of the flies in
the case. Tile wings were trans..
larent, the body lyas black, the legs
and antennte yellow, the waist
wasp-.like, and a tail, like a horse
hair, five inches lone. ran f;ram the
ond of the insect. Through this
fine hair she deposits her eggs.
"This," said the savan "is
THE ICHNEUMON FLY."
He next hold an old piece of
maple wood to the writor's ear. A
faint noiso was hard.
"Here is a grub hard at work.
Well, the ichonimon fly, by listen-.
ing on tho tree, knows where to
find her grub. The next thing is
to get in to it. She places her
oggs through this fine horse hair or
tail. Hero is a microscope. Look
tat the end of this egg-placer and
you will sco a two-bladed back saw.
Seo it 1" The writer nodded.
"With this saw th fly cuts through
the solid wood to the grub. But
when she rcachs hirn she does not
destroy him. She simply drops an
egg upon his back; the ogg hatches
another grub, and the second grub
borcs into the first one and foods
on him and destroys him, and
enlarges, until, in time, after vari
ons changes, it e:crges from the
trc nnother ichnounon fly. It
cannot propagato its species with
out finding this grub."
"Tho fly has killed the grub," con
tinued the speaker," but the grub
has bored P. holo which lets in the
air and moistaro, and hastons the
decay of the tree. Ho JAs cut off
many of the vessola that carry up
the sap, for the borors that escape
the fly do not go out the way they
came in. Ie cannot pass out the
hole through which he entered, for
he has increasod in size fifty times,
and moro than that, the hole has
grown over long before his maturi
ty. On roaching full growth he
takes a direct courso outward, stop
ping ait the bark, for should he go
through and poke out his head
some woodpecker might coine along
and take it off. So the grub rests
under the bark, surrounding him
self with a ring of excrement. There
ho undergoes his last transforma,
tion and becomes a beetle. Then
ho gnaws a holo through the bark
and escapos to the open air.
"Lot us watch the naplo tree,"
said Mr. Fuller. "The attacks of
these insects, together with old ago,
flinally tell on it. Scores of insects
work upon its leaves, others food
upon the little twigs, and an almost
endloss lino of ants and bugs train
up and down its trunk. It loses
vitality and dies. Then the wind
blowa the old tree down. It scarce
ly touches the ground before it is
attacked by an entirely different
class of insects. They have no
tooth for live timber, but only for
that which is dying or dead. Some
bore straight into the solid wood.
Others go under the bark and the
surface of the wood. Their peculiar
office seems to be to separate the
bark from the wood, and for this
purpose they are mado very thin,
some of them not over the hundredth
part of an inch in thickness. The
holes and looseness of the bark al
low the wator to got in and haston
the decay of the log. The wood
becomes soft and mellow, like a well'.
ripened apple. Then the stage
horned b)eetles appear, the females
dropping their eggs whoe the
grubs will find suitable food. The
snapping bug also takes a hand at
the old log, and revels in its rotton-.
noess.
"THE LAST FEEDER OF ALL,
said Mr. Fuller, "is a groat lazy,
shining, black beetle, with corrugat
ed wing covers, a short-jointed an~
tenmon frayed like the end of a
thread, a good-sized mouth, and a
horn on his nose like that of a rhi-.
noceros reversed. Ho is the laziest
of all beetles. When picking up an
old log I have seen dozens drop to
the ground, but not one ever made
an attempt to escape. When this
be.tle has finished his work the
maple has gone through its last
change. The old log is thoroughly
rotton and becomes pure vegetable
Here Mr. Fuller sat down at the
table and began to write. The re-.
porter was about to leave when the
entomologisL said : "I have given
you the little I know edneerning one
beetle, but to--day there is not one
hundred of our American insects
whose true history is well known.
There is room for a thousand active
young men to distinguish themselves
in this direction. The pursuit is
most fascinating, and no man who
has once entered it will ever wish to
turn back. Just to give you an
idea. One man visitdd Florida
during the winter, and brought back
over 1,600 new species ofi bugs.
Another man-broke down . the -bug
market in one specialty, Hle found
under a deadialnst n bidreds
of bugs that wgzeJ on Is ae
