Interlude
2.5 Round the Countryside
'Dragonflies'
C. C. GADDUM
Mr. Gaddum will deal with the two main types of dragonflies-the stout-bodied variety and the slender-bodied kind. The stout-bodied kind with very powerful wings, sometimes called the horse-stinger, and the thin-bodied kind with very delicate wings. He will describe the life-history of the dragon-fly, how the eggs are laid by the female on some water-plant, how they hatch out into ferocious-looking aquatic larvae, how they stalk and hunt their prey on the bottom of ponds and ditches. And he will speak of how they change from the unsightly larvae into dazzling replicas of their parent.
Teachers could with advantage have drawings or specimens of the two kinds of dragonflies to show their classes.
