Description

Excerpt from Flashlights on Nature: A Popular Account of the Life Histories of Some Familiar Insects, Birds, Plants, Etc We often talk metaphorically of vegetating: the aphis vegetates. Indeed, aphides are as sluggish in their habits and manners as it is possible for a living and locomotive animal to be: they do not actually fasten for life to one point, like oysters or barnacles; but they are born on a soft shoot of some particular plant they stick their sucking-tube into it as soon as they emerge; they anchor them selves on the spot for an indefinite period; and they only move on to a new claim when Sheer want of food or force majeure compels them. The winged members are an exception: flay are founders of new colonies, and are now on their way to some undiscovered Tasmania.
