 One of these was accompanied by the very delicate pupa-skin. 

 In emerging it appears that one antenna stuck fast in its case 

 (figure). It is well-developed but is broken off, the knob 

 and part of the shank remaining in the case. Dr. Chapman 

 thinks this is not an isolated occurrence, and that the insect, 

 when confronted with the difficulty, itself bites off the 

 antenna.
