This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: OKTHOPTERA. Leaving the Rhyncota, we come to the OrthopTera, the Insects constituting this Order having each a mouth formed for biting. The word Orthoptera (from orthos, straight, and pteron, a wing), is applied to this order, because all the insects belonging to it are distinguished by their posterior wings, which are generally large and strongly reticulated, being longitudinally folded when at rest. The metamorphosis is incomplete, both larva and pupa being in this order, as in the preceding one, active, and resembling the perfect insect, except that the former has no wings, and the latter only rudiments. The abdomen often terminates in two bristle-like appendages forming an ovipositor. The insects belonging to this order often assume strange and grotesque forms, such as leaves and sticks, hence called walking-leaves, and walking- sticks, as the Phyllium Siccifolium, and the Bacteria fragilis; they occur principally in warm climates, very few being found in Europe. The Orthoptera are divided into two large sections, viz., the Saltatorial and the Cursorial; in the former the hind legs are always much lengthened and formed for leaping, as in crickets, grasshoppers, and locusts. In the latter the legs are formed for running, as in the cockroaches. The Saltatorial Orthoptera include three families, the Locustidae, the Gryl- lidae, and the Achetidae. The destructive species of the first family is happily seldom seen in this country. The fearful ravages of these insect-pests in localities they visit are well-known. The Oedipoda Higratoria, or migratory locust, is the species which sometimes visits Europe. In the year 1748 these insects visited Europe in immense multitudes. Charles XII. and his army, then in Bessarabia, were stopped in their course. It is said that t...
