Hay otras hormigas que llaman necuházcatl, que quiere decir "hormigas de miel". Críanse debaxo de tierra y trayen en la cola una vejiguita redonda llena de miel. Es trasparente, es esta vejiguita como una cuenta de ámbar. Es muy buena esta miel, y cómenla como la miel de abejas.
\nHay en esta tierra unos gusanos que en Castilla la Vieja se llaman carralexas, que se crían en las vinas. Llámanlas tlalxiquipilli. Son muy ponzoñosas acá. Matan cuando muerden.
