Origin:-Believed to have re- ...sulted from a union between a
land crab and a scorpion.
Habits-Peculiar to a degree. Some spiders spin webe, others run and jump, and a certain num- bor live in tunnels. They often hide behind brooms and otber articles, and make a sudden ap pearance when least expected. Housemaids are their chief pray. They sometimes drop down the back of one's collar; and have been known to bite.
Origin: The first beetle is popularly supposed to have been cross between a cockroach and a bumble bee.
Habits:-Very erratic. At one moment a beetle will be flying up against the ceiling, and the next will top into one's soup.
