The specialization of structure and of instinctive behaviour, in accordance with a definite sequence of life-conditions, is even more remarkable in another of the many parasites which _Chalicodoma_ unwittingly labours to nourish. This time it is a fly (_Argyromœba_), which lays a minute egg on the outside of the cell. From this egg is hatched a slender threadlike worm, barely one-twentieth of an inch in length (Fig. 13, C). It has three pairs of longish bristles near the anterior end, and a single yet longer pair at the hinder extremity. These aid it in creeping over the wall of the cell. Its small head is armed with short, stiff bristles. For many days it wanders over the surface of the cell, inserting its bristly head into each minute cranny and crack. Throughout this long period it has never a bite nor sup. Probably many of them never succeed in finding a crevice by which they can effect an entrance, but those that do manage to wriggle in undergo a change, lose their bristles, and develop a minute suctorial mouth, through which the contents of the larva are absorbed into their swelling bodies (Fig. 13, D). When fully grown they are quite helpless, and unable to get out from the cell in which they are now imprisoned. For months they lie quiescent, but in the succeeding spring they pass into a pupal condition very different from that of most flies. The relatively large head is armed with strong spines; the middle region bears bristles directed backwards; the posterior end has short spines (Fig. 13, E). Fixing itself to the interior of the cell by the latter, it strikes with its armoured head repeated blows on the walls of its prison until a breach is at last made, and sufficiently enlarged to form a suitable exit. Then the pupa-skin bursts, and the imago insect emerges and flies off. At each stage of life there is the closest relation between structure and behaviour, and each is equally adapted to a biological end of which the creature has never had an opportunity of gaining any experience.
