Comparing the division of labor among men with that among cells, we may liken the single “pork-knocker” to an Amoeba, where a single man and a single cell perform all the necessary functions; the Long Tom with two men is like the simpler sponges—where one set of cells secretes the skeleton of spicules, giving shape to the whole, and another set lashes the water and absorbs the tiny bits of food. The crusher with its five men, each performing his individual labor, corresponds to some slightly higher organism—a jelly-fish or anemone,—while the electrically run stamps, employing several score of men, is like the complex cell machinery of a beetle or butterfly. The Aremu Mine clearing had been in existence only about six months, and the trees which were felled had been sawed up or burnt so that there was no such abundance of wood-loving insects as at Hoorie. At night a few Longicorn beetles would appear and buzz about, but almost no moths. In fact during our whole stay only one moth of large size was seen. One small species of moth, with wings of a general rusty-red, a light line along the front margin and spreading only an inch, appeared in numbers on the evening of April 2d. The following day we saw many of the Gray-rumped Swifts snatching them from the bushes in the clearing. I brought a single specimen back and found it was a species new to science, which has been named _Capnodes albicosta_.[H] [Illustration: FIG. 125. DESCENDING THE SHAFT.] Walking sticks and mantises were more abundant. Some of the former had well-developed wings on which they whirred about the bungalow; others had none at all or reduced to a scale-like vestige. In an individual of a third group the wings, while perfect, were pitiful affairs, mere mockeries of pinions, barely an inch in extent, while the body of the insect was almost five inches in length. When thrown into the air the poor “stick” expanded his wings to the fullest but wholly in vain. There was just sufficient spread of wing to act as a parachute and allow him to scale safely to the ground. [Illustration: FIG. 126. WALKING STICK INSECT.] We watched him several days and never tired of his peculiar walk, swaying from side to side. Often when at rest the front pair of legs would be extended parallel with the antennæ, along the anterior line of the body, making the imitation twig eight inches over all (Fig. 126). As we walked through the jungle wood roads close to the clearing, large forest dragon-flies, small tiger beetles (_Odontochila confusa_, _O. cayennensis_ and _O. lacordairei_) and a few yellow-spotted Heliconias were the most noticeable insects. One or two of the giant metallic Buprestid beetles (_Euchroma goliath_) were sure to be seen flying about the fallen trees, and our Indian hunter invariably made a dash at them, and as invariably missed the active, alert creatures.
