. Elements of biology, with special reference to their rôle in the lives of animals. Biology; Zoology. HONEY BEE HOUSE FUT Fig. 216.—Common honey bee and common house fly. boat-shaped bunches in water or moist places. The eggs hatch in a few days, the time required varying with the variety of mosquito and with the temperature. The larvx are aquatic and are harmless to other animals. They live in water but are air breathers; next to the last abdominal segment is equipped with a slender breathing tube. They hang head downward in the water with this tube ex- truded at the surface. The larvse grow rapidly and, after moulting, change into pupse. The pupae of the mosquito, unlike the pupal stage of any other insect, are active. They, too, have breathing tubes but these are on the thorax and are two in number. After a short pupal stage the skin splits and the adult emerges, using the cast pupal case as a raft. As soon as its wings harden the adult flies.
