232 LIFE AND HER CHILDREN. 
the next chapter is done by the caterpillars and 
butterflies. Neither have they, with the exception of 
the caddis-flies, any time of trance as the caterpillar 
has in its chrysalis. They are active from birth to 
death, and though, when their time for laying eggs 
comes, they put forth wings to carry them to their 
mates and to suitable spots for laying, still they have 
not yet fallen upon the expedient of taking a time 
of rest and forming a new and beautiful body.
