Abstract
In July 1937, some unknown aquatic insect larvae were found in the vicinity of the University of Virginia‗s Mountain Lake Biological Station, in Giles County, Virginia. On July 31, 1938, additional larvae were found, and a culture was established. Throughout August of that year weekly collections were made and specimens were added to the culture. This work was continued through the summers of 1938, 1939, and 1941. Larvae were first collected in the field on July 22 in 1939, and on August 1 in 1941. During the four summers observations were made on the feeding habits, locomotion, respiration, and ecdyses of the larvae, on pupation, and on the activities of the adults.
