A HISTORY OF NORFOLK 



is found it does not seem to matter how often it is visited, as something 

 fresh is almost sure to be taken. 



There is a peculiar habit found in the larva of Limneria kreichbaumeri 

 when in the cocoon ; it has the power of leaping a considerable distance 

 into the air. The cocoon is semitransparent, and when held up to the 

 light the larva may be seen to bend itself into the shape of a U ; then 

 press its head and tail against one side of the cocoon, and suddenly 

 release them so that they strike the opposite side, hitting it a sharp blow 

 which causes it to make a leap. When held in the fingers the tap may 

 distinctly be felt and heard.
