How many rings make up the abdomen? Look closely 

 at the egg-depositors (ovipositors) at the end of the ab- 

 domen. How do they compare with the leaflike bodies at 

 the end of the dragon-fly ? See the small holes on the side 

 of the abdomen. They look like a row of buttons down 

 his sides. These are breathing-holes (spiracles). See how 

 his abdomen swells as he breathes. Let us give him a 

 tender piece of cabbage and see if he will eat it.
