It is both an active runner and flier. The eggs are laid in the earth, where the larva lives its whole life, finally pupating at the bottom of its burrow. The curious bent form of the larva, and the pair of hooks at the back of the abdomen, of which it makes use when moving up and down in its burrow, are shown in Fig. 180. Clearly shown also is the strange flattened form of

There are several species of predaceous insects belonging to the Carabidw, or ground- beetles, which are very active in their habits, and diligently hunt for them and eat them, notably the Green Caterpillar- hunter, Calosoma scrutator (Fabr.) (Fig. 47), and the Copper- spotted Calosoma, Calosoma calidum (Fabr.) (Fig. 48). They are sometimes destroyed in great numbers by a fungoid
