The little in- habitant in the mean while banquets securely on the par. Titions of its tent, eating door-ways from one apartment into another, through which it can escape in case of dan- ger or disturbance. The leaflets of the rose, it may be remarked, expand in nearly the same manner as a fan, and the operations of this ingenious little insect retain them in the form of a fan nearly shut. Sometimes, however, it is not con- tented with one bundle of leaflets, but by means of its silken cords un...ites all which spring from the same bud into a rain proof canopy, under the protection of which it can feast on the flower-bud, and prevent it from ever blowing. In the instance of the currant leaves, the proceedings of the grub are the same, but it cannot unite the plaits so smoothly as in the case of the rose leaflets, and it re- quires more labour also, as the nervures being stiff, de- mand a greater effort to bend them. When all the ex- ertions of the insect prove unavailing in its endeavours to draw the edges of a leaf together, it bends them inwards as far as it can, and weaves a close web of silk over the open space between.
