Life in ponds. Part 2

Evolved larva leaves the water and burrows into the ground. In early May, she turns into a chrysalis, and later in the month of her adult insect comes out. Females after fertilization, lay a lot of small black eggs near water: on the stems of cattail, reed, on stilts baths and bridges, etc. These eggs have the form of small bottles with short necks. Starting with the first half of June, you can catch a female of this beautiful beetle at work. Their sharp mandibles it gnaw oblong window in the floating leaves. When the window is ready, she sticks to it his belly and lay small eggs on the underside of the leaf. Some species raduzhnits to lay their eggs just fall into the water. Raduzhnits larvae develop under the water, feeding on roots and stems of underwater plants. Egg-laying in raduzhnits continues until July. In the second half of May on aquatic plants put small oblong balls fast bugs, pond skater. They lay their long row, gluing the mucins. Total number of eggs in a row happens to fifty. In early June of the rooms have a tiny long-legged klopiki and immediately accepted to run on water. Very easily they predators, like myself beetle. In July they pupate already (on the banks of the pond), and will soon appear beetles. Plavunets and its larvae attack and small fish. In fish ponds, they cling to it because of fine hairs on the legs, which are not wetted by water. In early June, is laying eggs in the water bug-Gladyshev. Why it seems such a mirror of his abdomen? Catch the water spider, and you'll find that on the air, it will be quite different. His body, covered with dense hairs, soon loses its luster, and it will seem dry and dull-dark. But should drop the spider into the water, his abdomen is again covered with shiny silver foil. The reason is simple. Hairs of the abdomen are not wetted by water. As soon as the spider will dive into the water, among the hairs of his body remains na air and water on turns as it were, dressed in a rugged air bubble. That is why the water spider, living in the water, breathe the same way as any other spider, and the same atmospheric air. He carries it with him under the water and gradually resumes its stock, when lifting, exposes his belly from the water.
