Their antennae are fivejointed, With a very few exceptions. And in these the joints are seven ; The foiTH always is elongate ; Body mostly rough and haiiy, Never nipped in at the middle. Next them come the gay Stephina, Beautiful and useful insects : Beautiful and gaily banded In the state of perfect insects, Hangmg, in the air suspended, Over leaves and over flowers ; Useful because in the larva Feeding mostly upon plantlice. In the summer we may hear them Floating in the air and humming ; TWO... WIXGS. 31 'Tis a wellknown sound of summer. Theii" antemiae are tlireejointed, And from out the third there issues, Sideways or in front, a bristle. Their mouth is a hirge and elbowed Sucking tube, bent in . The middle. Next these come the true Muscina, Swarming in such countless numbers : These are all tlie flies domestic, In our houses, in our windows, In our chambers, in our larders.
