Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mosquitoes, Gnats, Craneflies, Midges and Flies of the Northern StatesThe mosquitos, gnats, flies, ticks, and fleas constitute the order Dz'ptera of the class Insecta. They have only two wings (a few Wingless excepted) in place of hind Wings, they have a minute hair with a knob on the end of each called the balancers; mostly covered by a scale when at rest. Their mouth parts are formed for sucking or lapping, never for biting, though often enclosed in sharp horny needles for piercing; some have their tongues enclosed in a soft trunk. Their food is always liquid. They lay their eggs inthe water, on fruit or on various growing or decaying vegetable or animal matter, on which their larvze, footless maggots live. The maggots when full grown transform to pupa, mostly enclosed in their own dried skin, though some times naked.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
