The Coleoptera, or Beetles, have two horny or leathery elytra (wing-cases), two membranous under-wings, and the mouth with transverse jaws. In their pupa state they are not covered by a uniform hard case, as in the Lepidoptera, nor active, as in the Hemiptera, but exhibit all the parts of the future insect in a rudimentary condition, covered by a continuous, tight-fitting outer skin, which renders them incapable of motion by means of the limbs. In the most perfect forms the elytra are hard, reaching to the end of the body, and, in repose, meeting straight down the back, with an evenly-joined suture, -the wings, which are very large, folding beneath them; but in those of less development, the elytra are often shortened, lapped over each other and soft, or hard and soldered together, and the wings frequently absent. They pass through the ordinary metamorphoses of egg, larva, and pupa, before arriving at the perfect state. The eggs, which are usually oblong, or oval, and soft, are laid in places where the larva, when hatched, will be likely to obtain proper food, according to the habits of the different species. The larvae are mostly worm-like, Fig. 1. with a horny front and head, the latter having strong jaws, rudi- mentary eyes, antennae, and palpi; / they have mostly six hard front legs, and appendages on the upper side, with a fleshy tubercle on the under side, of the last segment. The legs are sometimes wanting entirely, or replaced by fleshy tubercles. The body is composed of the head, and, usually, twelve segments, to the first three of which the horny legs are attached, one on each side; and there is usually a spiracle, or breathing-hole, on each side of all the segments, ex- Full-grown Books, Literary Collections~~General, British-beetles~~Edward-Caldwell-Rye, 999999999, British Beetles; An Introduction To The Study Of Our Indigenous Coleoptera, Edward Caldwell Rye, 0217730930, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
