STRAIGHT-WINGED INSECTS, OR ORTHOPTERS. These insects have wings which lie straight along the top or sides of tlie back. They do not pass through tlie marked stages of larva and pupa in coming to the adult state; but the young are constantly active, feed- ing and growing, and differ from the adults only in size, and in having only rudiments of wings, and in frequently changing their skins. After having shed their skins six times, they come forth perfect insects. EARWIGS. These insects have a pair of sharp-pointed nippers.
