He snatched an infant dragon-fly from the jaws of the water-scorpion, devoured it with pleasure, and then turned his attention to the water-scorpion himself. He found him flat and tasteless. The water-boatman was more succulent, but, with only one soft spot, difficult to do justice to. It was the same with all the larger creatures.
The amateur should be careful when he introduces these creatures to make sure that he is putting in the right creature. He swims on his back, is longer and narrower than are Corixæ, which do not swim on their backs, are smaller, broader, and live much more under water than the water-boatman.
Others, such as the water-boatman, water-scorpions and pond-skaters, are not of any value as food for the fish. The larvæ of Ephemeridæ are very good food for the fish, and should be cultivated in separate ponds if possible, and some turned into the ponds containing the little fish occasionally.
As I rest poised upon the oars above some submerged shallow, diamonded with ripple-broken sunbeams, the fantastic Notonecta or water-boatman rests upon his oars below, and I see that his proportions anticipated the wherry, as honeycombs antedated the problem of the hexagonal cell.
