Note 4 — Chapter IV · THE LANGUEDOCIAN SCORPION: THE IMMUNITY OF LARVÆ
Bernard Miall translation
The Dipteron4 and the Hymenopteron5 should be worth examination. Like the Moth and the Beetle, they undergo a general remoulding through the action of the metamorphosis; but they are small-sized and for the most part could not be easily manipulated were my tweezers to present them to the sting. Their delicate larvæ would die merely of the perforation of the skin. Let us question only the giants.
