Thus before the great change takes place the The life-story of insects book has foretastes of the aerial mode of breathing which it will practise when the perfect stage shall have been attained. The schoolboy watches the tiny green caterpillars hatched from eggs laid on a cabbage leaf by the common white butterfly, or maybe rears successfully a batch of silkworms through the changes and chances of their lives, while the naturalist questions yet again the 'how' and 'why' of these common though wondrous life-stories, as he seeks to trace their course more fully than his predecessors knew. The circus bugs find out about Tuck and Roll's past. The aquatic young of a stone-fly does not differ sufficiently in form from its parent to warrant us in calling it a larva; the life-history is like that of a cockroach, all the instars however except the final one—the winged adult or imago—live in the water.

That is exactly the sentiment expressed when a child tells me about reading The Tail of Emily Windsnap. The greater part of the digestive canal and The life-story of insects book whole air-tube system are formed by inpushings of the outer skin ectoderm and are consequently lined with an extension of the chitinous cuticle which is shed and renewed at every moult. An insect that is continually submerged and has no contact with the upper air cannot breathe through a series of paired spiracles, and during the aquatic life-period of the stone-fly these remain closed. Except on the head, whose surface is hard and firm, the caterpillar's cuticle is as a rule thin and flexible, though it may carry a protective armature of closely set hairs, or strong sharp spines. The egg laid by a butterfly had not, according to Harvey, enough store of food to provide for the building-up of a complex organism like the parent; only the imperfect larva could be produced from it. Hence we understand that the amputation of the latter by the old naturalists truncated only and did not destroy the imaginal limb.
