I like elegant, flowery words, such as estivate, peregrinate, elysium, halcyon. |
The larvae complete their feeding in less than two weeks and then estivate in cocoons, which they construct in the ground. |
Many crayfish flee the sun downward, tunneling after the subsiding water table until they reach moist mud in which to estivate. |
When the water evaporates, the crocodiles estivate, or pass the summer in a kind of torpor. |
