shade. They may be taken in the woods in June and July. Delta moths, or Pyralida, so called from the habit of 

 placing the wings in the form of a triangle when at rest, are slender-bodied, having the antenna; always simple. 

 They are found also in woods, resting upon the under side of leaves. The leaf-rollers, 'lortricidir, are found very 

 abundant in summer, upon leaves of trees, low bushes, and herbage. The larvce live in rolled-up leaves. The 

 Tincida, though the smallest moths of the order, are very destructive to vegetation. The wings are narrow and 

 edged with delicate fringe. The clothes-moth and corn-moth are representatives of the family. They are found in 

 a variety of situations ; many rly in the grass, always alighting head downward. These, with AlucitiC, a small family 

 with wings, divided into numerous branches, close the order.
