https://mastodonapp.uk/@gilbertw...1776: Grass-hopper-lark whispers. The bombylius medius is much about in March & the beginning of April, & soon seems to retire. It is a very early insect. Bombylius still: seems to be laying it's eggs by striking it's tail against grasses. Many house-martins appear. Pulled down the old martins nests against the brew-house & stable: they get foul & full of vermin. These abounded with fleas, & the cases of Hippoboscae hirundinis. Besides while these birds are building they are much more in...

https://mastodonapp.uk/@gilbertw...1776: The Bombylius medius abounds. It is an hairy insect, like an humble-bee, but with only two wings, & a long straight beak, with which it sucks the early flowers, always appearing in March. The female seems to lay it's eggs as it poises on the it's wings, by striking it's tail on the ground, & against the grass that stands in it's way in a quick manner for several times together.
