These become attachedto mosquitoes of the speciesJanthinosoma lutzi (fig. 84) whichwalk over the leaves. The eggswhich adhere to the abdomen,remain attached and are thustransported. The embryo de-velops, but the young larva (fig. 82) remains in the egg until it hasopportunity to drop upon a vertebrate fed upon by the Mosquito carrying eggs of Dermatobiacyaniventris.
