Note 28 — PETER KALM’s TRAVELS. (continued 5)
Johann Reinhold Forster translation
Though Mr. Kalm has so carefully avoided peopling Europe with this insect, yet Dr. Linnæus assures us in his Systema Naturæ, that the southern countries of Europe are already infested with it; Scopoli mentions it among his Insecta Carniolica p. 63. and Geoffroy among his Parisian Insects, Vol. 1. p. 267. t. 4. f. 9. has given a fine figure of it.
