May says she supposes the larva of the lacewing is a little monster like that of the corydalus.
But you will not expect to find it as large as a dobson.
I think if we hunt about a little, we can find one.
Here is one on the leaf. See what a little fellow! And how fast it runs!
We shall have to take it captive, in order to get a chance to see it.
It is a funny little larva, with jaws that are tre-men-dous for one of its size.
Why do you suppose it has such jaws?
May says, for the usual reason, to eat up other larvæ.
Yes; but wait till I tell you another name for this larva.
