The distinction in position of the eyes of male and female is clearly portrayed. Throughout, the time factor is introduced in a most satisfactory way. One sees distinctly in the growing larva, the alimentary canal, nervous sys- tem, spiracles and tracheal tubes; the pul- sation of the heart is shown too. The mechanisms used by the six-legged insect as it emerges from the pupal case and when the wings expand are particularly arresting. An outstandingly good film from which one learns precisely how to set about breeding these insects. . . A few stills are used very effectively for com- parison of successive stages in develop- ment and serve also for revision.
