When the time comes for their mating, which is when they shed their earthly form, in which they resemble worms, they are adorned with wings and become flying insects. Then they soar into the air, as it were into their own heaven; there they play together, mate, lay eggs on leaves, and feed on the juices of flowers. They are then in their beauty, for they have wings of various colours, gold, silver, blue, white, and in other cases with beautiful markings and variegated. These are the effects of the conjugial principle on such insignificant creatures.
