and ants; {Diptera}, as the common flies, gnats, and
mosquitos; {Aphaniptera}, or fleas; {Lepidoptera}, or
moths and butterflies; {Neuroptera}, as the ant-lions
and hellgamite; {Coleoptera}, or beetles; {Hemiptera},
as bugs, lice, aphids; {Orthoptera}, as grasshoppers
and cockroaches; {Pseudoneuroptera}, as the dragon
