The latter, however, though they be thus provided, will not readily forsake their young, but the whole of them, when alarmed, first run all together, and then, if the cause of disquietude continue, suddenly scatter as though in panic, and run hither and thither, in all and every direction. When the danger seems over, they close up their ranks again, and go on browsing as before.. The female Psocus lays her eggs in little clusters of from fifteen to twenty, and protects each cluster under a sort of dome or shield of gnawed wood which she presses A CURIOUS INSECT upon them so that they stick to it. She is said to brood over the eggs, but this does not appear to mean that she actually incubates them. Rather, she remains about, keeping watchful guard till they are hatched, and then takes the young to find pasture, walking at their head like a hen in front of her chickens. From such beginnings as these it seems possible that the social life of ants has been, in the course of ages, evolved and developed. 1 Bell, The Naturalist in Nicaragua, pp. 72, 73, 79-81.
