Corixa species
Corixa, hind lobes
These are a Corixa species "hind lobes". They help the insect keeping the air in
between the front wings and the body. De hairs are greasy and prevent the intrusion of water
in the air bubble. The open space between the lobes helps ejecting the excrements of the animal directly
into the water
