' A STRANGE INSECT.
The (kMo In Half Plnnt and I*
Found In Xrw Zealand.
The aweto, as the Maoris, or natives
or New Zealand, call it. or n pialls vi
resceiis, as naturalists term It, is found
in Xw' Zealand and is a vegetable ca
terpillar of from three to four inches la
leng*.h, and >o far science has not been
able to say who. her it is a vegetable or
au inject It Is always found at the
foot of large myrtle trees that have
beautiful red flowers on their stems
and a beautiful creeping clematis as
white as the snow. The Maoris call
? this tree by the name of rata. The
aweto buries itself among the roots of
ihe rata a few inches below the ground
and there lives until It Is full grown,
when It undergoes a most wonderful
change. The spjre of a vegetable fun
gus, termed by naturalists Rophoerls
robertsil, fastens Itself to the neck of
the caterpillar just botweeu the head
and the first ring and then grow* up
ward to the height of from sli to eight
inches. Many people as.-ert that there
Is never more than one stem, but such
Is not the ease, for some have been
found with two stems, although very
rarely.
The stem shoot < u;i out of the g.ound
above where the caterpillar Is living
about two or three Inches. Relow the
earth it grows Into the awetJ until It
fills up every possible space within the
outer skin without changing the f >rm
of the insect in the slightest way what
soever, but simply subs;ituting a vege
table matter for animal matter. A*
soon as this takes place both the plant
and caterpillar become dry and hard
and die, but retain exactly the same
form as when alive. The while has a
brown color, and the Insect appears n
wooden caterpillar with a huge horn
standing up from the back of Its neck
How the cateri illar manages to propa
gate its spee'e- no one can tell. Usual
ly the caterpillar l>ecomes a chrysalis,
the chrysalis changes Into a moth, the
moth lays egss. and the;e eggs agali*
become caterpillars, nud so on without
stopping. Many reasons are given -why
the plant shoots up from the back of
the neck of the aweto. One is that the
aweto has a slimy substance oozing out
from its neck, which while the aweto Is
boring at the foot of the rata tree for
Its only food catche3 the seeds of the
fungus and holds It fast there till the
latter begins to grow. When It has
sucked all the vegetable life out of tha
aweto it must naturally die, for it finds
no further nourishment. The aweto Is
often found In large numbers.
