MM1TMI
OR more than 33 years
Fred Enock, a London
man of science, has
been scouring square
mile upon square mle
of England with a cam
bric net no bigger than
your hat, looking for
an insect less than one
twentieth of an inch
long. So scarce ar
some kinds of these insects that there
are said to be only two In every 640
acres, and the finding of them Is so
rare a feat that one must go back 60
years to read of a previous catch.
Now Enock has landed one, and he is
the happiest man in England.
Enock Is a fellow of no fewer than
four scientific societies and a most
learned looking man, with a tall
dome of a forehead. He talks like
an annual report of the Llnnean so
ciety. The Insects have ben popu
Iarly christened fairy files, and, un
til Enock fell In love with the shape
of one under the microscope 33 years
ago, men of science had considered
them of not enough importance to
waste time over. And to this day
Enock remains almost the sole author
ity upon their playful habits.
Surely much ado was never made
about less. Here Is a man with a
more than ordinary brain who spends
almost two score of precious years
looking for a few insects that will
never be of any possible use to hu
manity or probably to science, and
the total result of bis long search
could be put in a peanut shell. Of
course, he has done other work; he
is a mounter of insects for qollectors,
and he tells me that according to ac
curate records he has kept he has
mounted no fewer than 200,000 speci
mens. In addition, he Is a lecturer.
In popular style, on natural history
suDjects, and he travels about Eng
land explaining to the rising genera
tion, the evolution of the spider, the
wasp, the bee, the butterfly and his
nreiong friend, the fairy fly. But how
many valuable hours have been stol
en from more productive fields of ef
fort to spend with his net, his bottles
and his microscope on the Invisible
trail of the elusive fairy fly only
Enock knows. If it were possible to
calculate the amount of money wast
ed by him In his strange quest, it
would probably be found that his
fairy files are worth many times
their weight in radium. It will be en
tertaining to let Enock tell of his
queer search In his own words, but
you must remember that when he
speaks of fairy flies as the most
beautiful Insects In the world he Is
like a fond parent' describing his
favorite child, and prone to exaggera
tion. "My Introduction to the fairy fly,"
he said, "was at a meeting of the
Royal Microscopical society of 1878.
A species no larger than a fiftieth of
an inch entangled in a spider's web
was shown to us, and I immediately
lost my heart to it. It had four wings
exquisitely shaped and margined with
hairs. I determined that I would
search out the life history of these
Insects, and thus began my long
quest for some of the rarer species.
. "At that time practically nothing
was known of thom. They were so
small that they had quite escaped the
attention of scientists. The first men
tion of them was In 1797, and then
nothing was heard of them for more
than 80 years. I soon found out that
they belonged to the same order as
the honey bee and the wasp sort of
poor relations, so to speak. In size
thejr vary from a twentieth to a nine
tieth of an Inch In length. Figures
as small as that convey no impres
sion to the ordinary mind. Perhaps
It might be better if I say that a doz
en of these beauties could walk
abreast through an ordinary pinhole.
They search out the eggs of certain
other insects and in. them lay their
own, thus destroying the host eggs.
Each species has a different kind of
host egg, and In no circumstance will
they lay their eggs In any other way.
"During the 30 odd years I have
been soarchlng for these flies, I have
discovered eight new genera and at
least 150 new species. For .the last
Tour years I had the assistance of
Charles Owen Waterhouse, formerly
a member of the staff of the. Natural
Wm
I 1 IT ' 1
I If
History Museum, at South Kensing
ton, who, like myself, became fasci
nated by the marvelous beauty of
these fairy flies when seen under the
microscope, and decided to devote his
time to searching them out."
One can picture these two men,
both hovering around the middle 60s,
armed with cambric nets, a collec
tion of empty glass tubes and micro
scopes, both possessed of the enthusi
asm that knows no discouragement,
tramping over the fields of England
day in and day out, content if once
in a blue moon either caught a new
species.
Enock gave to the writer a de
scrlption of probably ' the greatest
moment in his life, when he discov
ered in the bottom of his net the
male fairy fly of a certain species, for
which he had been searching patient
ly for the whole 30 odd years of his
acquaintance with the insects. Fe
males he had landed before, but the
male was so rare that 60 years had
elapsed since anyone had put one be
tween glasses and submitted It to the
prying eye of the microscope.
"Waterhouse and. I had been sweep
ing Burnham Beeches with our nets
all one Saturday afternoon," he said.
"I Intended going home for dinner,
and as Waterhouse was staying out
we parted, he going to the west and
I staying In the field. I determined
to have a few more sweeps before
leaving, and at their conclusion 1 ex
amined the bottom ojt my net with
my microscope. I became dizzy with
excitement when I saw there the very
insect I had given more than 30 years
of my life to find the male of a rare
species of which there are only two
in every square mile. In honor of
King George I Immediately christen
ed It Mymar regalis. In my excite
ment, however, I almost lost the
treasure. He hopped away, and al
though I immediately closed the net
I thought I had lost him. During the
next few minutes I was almost dead
with anxiety, but an examination soon
convinced me that I still had him
captive and in a few- seconds he was
safely bottled.
"Wonderful as this catch was, it
was rendered more wonderful still by
the fact that in the same net I dis
covered a Bpecies of a minute insect
of which there was no record of any
previous catch for 90 years. I soon
had it, too, safely in a botUe and
started as fast as my old legs would
carry me after Waterhouse to tell
him the great news. I ran and walk
ed four miles that day before I Anal
ly found him. 'What do you think
this is?' I asked him, trying to re
main as calm as possible and show
ing him the Mymar regalis. As soon
as he realized, he offered me his con
gratulatlons. then I showed him m
other find and there were more con
gratulatlons. . That was a day to re
member all the rest of one's life.
"But these fairy flies are not all as
scarce as the Mymar regalis. Far
from It. Despite the fact that they
have been overlooked by the great
body of naturalists, they are to be
found in every garden and on every
window in houses, In conservatories
and In trains. When I was younger
and my sight was better I used to
catch them with my hands as they
flew, like tiny specks of gold, aorosi
WW
a sunbeam. One ot the most plenti
ful species, that known popularly ai
the black fairy fly, I have captured in
hundreds in the early spring, close
up to the horiz6ntal sash bar of an
east window. At other times they are
to be found In large numbers running
up and down grass stems in search
of their host eggs.
"Even after spending the better part
of my life In the study of these In-
I !cts I am compelled to acknowledge
that X know very little of them. Of
the 21 genera now comprised in the
British fairy flies, I have been able
to work out the life history of but
two. Of course, I know considerable
about others of the remaining nine
teen, and year by year' I am adding
links that I hope will, eventually com
plete the life cycles.
"The common black fairy fly lays
its eggs In those of a small water
beetle, found on stems of plants he
low the water line. In order, there
fore, to get to its host eggs this fairy
fly must dive beneath the water. Th
Alaptus, another common species,
searches for the eggs of a fly re
sembling the common green fly, the
pest of the gardener. The tiny Camp
topera papavls, one of the smallest ol
fairy flies, sometimes appears in hun
dreds on windows, and at my home In
Woking I have captured no fewer
than 600, all female, at one time.
"One of the most extraordinary lit
tle Insects Is that known as Cara
phractus clnctus. It is aquatic in its
habits, using its delicately fringed
wings for 'flying' through the water.
Its legs are kept perfectly still during
the operation and the fly progresses
with a Jerky, zigzag motion.
"These Insects appear In early
spring some of them in March and
I have captured them as late as De
cember. They are difficult to breed
because of the - difficulty of discover
ing their host eggs.
"Of all insects, that popularly call
ed battledore wing fly Is without
doubt th,e most wonderfully formed
and most beautiful I have ever looked
upon. It is less than one-twentieth of
an inch In length, with Its two front
wings shaped like long-handled battle
dores, surrounded by a fringe of long
hairs. The hind wings, so tiny that
even under a powerful microscope the
ordinary observer does not see them,
are armed with three minute hooks
on the upper edge, which fix into
grooves on the upper wings and so
form a strengthening bracket My
first capture of the battledore wing
fly was made 33 years ago and it was
only last year, after constant efforts,
that I was able to breed it."
Speaking generally, Enock had high
praise for the work of the bureau of
entomology of the United States de
partment of agriculture. He con
stantly corresponds with Dr. Leland
O. Howard, its famous chief, for
whom be has a great admiration.
"If we only had the brains in this
country that yoir have In the United
States," remsrked Enock, sorrowfully,
"we might be able to give something
worth while to science. We know ab
solutely nothing about the life his
tory of the majority of crop pests,
and there is no organization such as
your bureau of entomology to advise
the farmers of Great Britain. The
trouble is there is no money avail
able for field work, and when a gov
ernment grant is made the money Is
spent in some Ineffective way that Is
of absolutely no practical use to the
farmer. Some day I suppose we shall
wake up."
