TODDY TREES IN SOUTH AFRICA
-Beetles Get Drunk by   Tapping   Bark—
Other Arboreal Tricks.
Nature has her rum shops, her saloons. She produces plants which devote themselves to the manufacture
and sale of .intoxicants. The South
American toddy tree is well known to
naturalists. It is well known also to
the South American beetle, the ofyctes
hercules. When the latter goes on a
spree he never goes alone, after the un-
neighborly habit of the human drunkard. He collects his friends and acquaintances to the number of thirty or
forty; the whole crowd run their short
horns through the bark of the toddy
tree, revel in the outflowing juices and
while inebriated are easily caught by
the natives. The toddy tree parts with
its liquor free of charge. There are
other plants which are less generous.
They exact no less a penalty than the
death of the unfortunate drunkard.
And what do they do with the body?
Strange as it may seem, they eat it. In
this manner they obtain the food which
nourishes them and sustains their
healthful existence. At the end of
each of their long green leaves these
plants have a pitcher-shaped receptacle.
We might style this the growler, but it
never needs to be rushed. It is always
full of what with special appropriateness might be called bug juice—a watery liquor, sweet to the taste and inebriating, to the senses. Only in fine
weather is the growler open for business. On rainy days it is firmly shut
up to keep out the rain that would dilute and spoil the contents. Nature's
saloonkeepers do not water their stock.
