They are never entirely deficient, and must belooked upon in all the Lepidoptcra as structures superadded duringthe second metamorphosis. The legs of the Lipidoptera are almost always very slender inproportion to the size and weight of the body. The adult insects, THE LEPIDOPTERA. 71 of whose legs we are now treating, do not walk much, and this isparticularly the case with regard to those that fly by day—thediurnal or butterfly Lepidoptera—which only use their extremitiesas supports to rest upon. Generally the three pairs of legs areequally developed, but the first a
