The changes which take place in the pupa state are very great, even radical ones. There is commonly no resemblance between the Larva and its Imago. There may be great beauty in the Imago, and none in the Lar- va, and sometimes the reverse is the case. Then, as to form and general structure, the contrast is of the most marked character. In the Larva state it Avas a slow, crawling animal, but in the Imago state it is light, per- haps delicate in structure, and is nimble on the wing. And the change is as great internally as it is externally. Its stomach even is changed, for its mode of getting a livelihood is different now. There are corresponding changes also about the mouth, a coiled tongue perhaps appearing in place of the formidable gnawing apparatus of the larva. In relation to this change it has been well.
