mollusque commented on the word proglottides
Here the swaying Pendulum is flanked by the nightmare of a deranged entomologist--chelae, mandibles, antennae, proglottides and wings--a cemetery of mechanical corpses that look as if they might all start working again at any moment--magnetos, monophase transformers, turbines, converters, steam engines, dynamos.
--Umberto Eco, 1988, Foucault's Pendulum, p. 7-8
