A WOOD SAVING FLY.
The Tool With Which, II Makes a
Cradle For Its Young

II is marvellous how many of the tiny
creatures in The insect world conceal
and preserve their eggs. Some will
deposit them in extraordinary places:
others will insert them in the skins OF
living animals; others. again. deposit
their eggs where the young grub, after
coming from the egg, finds food close
at hand.
Among these last mentioned arc in
scctS who hrStuw great labor In the
cradle of their young. The place thcy
select Is Il hard part of leaf or the
woody branch Of II tree In this they
saw out hole large enough Ia contain
thcir eggs. whence their name. saw
flies. For this purpose they are pro.
vidca with an ovipoSilor OF peculiar
pieces closing like Il sheath over n
third.
In the trntllrcdo this third piece con-
talns two little Siws, each OF which luls
been compared 10 the trnon saw used
by the cabinctnakcrs. Tie tcuuu saw
Is single. but that of the tcilttredo is
double, consisting OF two distinct saws.
The insect in using them throws out
one saw and while it il returning
pushes out the other.
This alternate motion il continued
until The cut is made, when the two
saws, rcceding from each other. con.
duct the egg between them into its
place. Not only is the edge of the saw
notched into teeth but on every tooth
number of smaller teeth appear.
