There is another tribe of insect enemies whoseattacks are not less annoying, although not resulting, likethe former, from a desire to feed upon our bodies. Hereare to be ranked the bees, wasps, and other insects providedvdth poisonous stings, which, however, they seldom employexcept in their own defence, or to resent injuries offeredto them.

Other insects are tobe ranked amongst our minor miseries, namely, those whichby the emission of a caustic or disgusting fluid, operatestrongly upon our olfactory nerves. But the tribes of insectswhich prey upon our cattle are equally numerous, including. Gasteropliilus equi. 1 - a Gasterophilus haeraorrhoidalis. fleas of different species, ticks, gadflies, forest flies, andespecially the remarkable family of (Estrideous flies, the ATTACKS OF INSECTS UPON PROPERTY. 21 larvae of some of which are ordinarily termed bots.
