THE LIFE-HISTORY OF THE GOLDEN FAIRY FLY. 
In the first illustration it is to be seen passing its earlier stages in the Frog-hopper’s egg within a reed-stem. At No. 5 it is 
fully developed, and at 6 it has eaten away the skin of its host’s egg and is commencing to tunnel through the pithy stem. 
Finally (No. 8) it bores through the thick bark of the reed and emerges (No. 9) to take its virgin flight. Throughout the reed is 
shown white against a black background, with part of the outer covering torn away to show the eggs and fly.
