Charafter of the Species.
The Antlers have seven joints, and are all the way of a thickness.
The Head and Trunk are red the Body is black.
This pretty, quiet, melancholy Fly is found among Alder Plantations; and is often fatally entangled in the clammy juice, that oozes from their Leaves. I caught it this last May, by the road-fide, near Uxbridge.
Its Head is of the finest scarlet;
The Eyes are blue.
The Antlers are of a dusky brown, and hairy.
The Feelers short, and pale.
The Mouth is arm'd with hard and crufty jaws.
Its Trunk is scarlet above, and of a ruddy brown below.
The Scutcheon is of a deeper red.
The Points on it are blue.
The Body is coal-black above, and greyish black below.
Its Ring's are divided, by lines, form'd of a deep brown mermbrane joining them.
Its-Air-holes are of a dead brown.
The Legs are grey; they are all of a length, and have two claws.
The Wings are of a pale yellowish brown, with little yellow risings, on the ribs, and an edge of deeper yellow.
The Tail is of a deep brown.
