There are a great many species of Orthoptera in the world, and we have
seen but a very few of them.
But I can tell you, we feel a little better acquainted with you
orthopterous fellows than we did.
The dragon fly says we have not given him a place.
But, dear dragon fly, you belong to another family. You are not an
orthopterous insect.
Your order is called the ODO-NA-TA.
The wings of the Odonata are very different from those of the
Orthoptera.

You remember how they are?
Yes, Ned, they are stiff and covered with a close network of fine veins,
and all four of them are alike.
No wing covers, you see.
