of Tropical Insects
Logs, eight feet long, form the menu
of a family of grubs which recently
reached the Zoological gardens, Lon-
don, from Trinidad.
They are the larvae of the FHarle-
guin beetle, a gayiy-hued Insect four
Inches long.
The colony brought their first issue

go heavy that It needed two keepers
to shift it. A pall full of sawdust In
the crate provided ample evidence
that the grubs had been busy during
the vovage.
A large number of logs will prob-
ably be required for their diet, for it
is estimated that it will be fully three
years before the caterpillars become
pupa prior to taking part In the final
“Harlequinade” as adult beetles.
The grubs are being kept In a green-
house having a temperature of about
100 degrees F, in the shade, and one
can hear the tap of thelr horny heads
ag they strip away the tissues of the
timber.
Trinidad may well be pleased to be
