water, takes place through an aerial tube similar to the "snorkel"
used by divers. A viscous solution secreted by their bodies pre-
vents water from leaking into the openings through which they
breathe. Briefly, this living being survives through the inter-rela-
tionship and interplay of many delicate balances. If it did not
have an aerial tube, it could not survive; if it did not have a vis-
cous secretion, its respiratory tube would fill with water.
In the meantime, the larvae change their skin once more.
The last change of skin is rather different from the others. In this
stage, larvae pass onto the final stage of their maturation, the
"pupal stage". The shell they are placed in becomes quite tight.
This shows that it is time for the larvae to emerge from this shell.
Such a different creature comes out of the shell that it is indeed
hard to believe that these two are different developmental
phases of the same being. As seen, this transformation process is
far too complicated and delicate to have been formed either by
the larva or by the female gnat...
During this last stage of transformation, the animal faces the
danger of being choked, as its respiratory openings, reaching
above the water through an aerial tube, would be closed.
However, from that stage on, respiration will not be done by
means of these holes, but by means of two tubes newly emerging
on the anterior of the animal. This is why these tubes rise to the
surface of the water prior to the change of skin. During this pupal
stage that lasts for three-four days, it will not be fed.
The gnat in the pupa cocoon has now become mature. It is
ready to fly with all its organs and organelles such as antennae,
trunks, feet, chest, wings, abdomen and its large eyes.
