How many insects did he find in the peach?

There were six insects inside of the peach.

There was an Old-Green-Grasshopper as large as a large dog sitting directly across the room from James now. And next to the Old-Green-Grasshopper, there was an enormous Spider. And next to the Spider, there was a giant Ladybird with nine black spots on her scarlet shell.
Each of these three was squatting upon a magnificent chair.
On a sofa near by, reclining comfortably in curled-up positions, there were a Centipede and an Earthworm.
On the floor over in the far corner, there was something thick and white that looked as though it might be a Silkworm.
