In due time the larva is full-fed, and it then, as do many other aquatic creatures, leaves the water and crawls up the stem of a water-plant, until it is several inches above the surface. Having found a safe place, it spins for itself a small grey cocoon, and there waits until it has assumed its perfect state, when it breaks through the walls of the cover, and again seeks the water. There are ten English species of Gyrin...us, some of w r hich are rarer than others. The present species, which is the most common, is about a quarter of an inch in length, and blue-black in colour, with a red- dish mouth. The elytra are greenish at the margins, and become narrowed towards the apex. They are very slightly striated and punctured. 6o CHAPTER V. BRACHELYTRA.
