Ecological and Behavior Notes 59 



burrow, I accidentally uncovered another containin^^ this 

 cricket. This burrow was very different from the above 

 in all but diameter; it sloped downward into the earth 

 only two inches to the pocket, which was two inches long. 

 Gn/Uus domesticus Linn, [A. N. Caudell]. Two speci- 

 mens, evidently the entire population, captured in a 

 house; one was adult and the other one third grown, 

 although the date was December 1. 



Camptonotus carolinensis Gest. [A. N. Caudell]. At 

 twilight I plucked from a shrub a leaf which was curled 

 up and spun together. Snug within was this female 

 cricket. I offer no explanation of its presence. 



Ilapithus agitator Uliler. [A. N. Caudell]. This cricket 

 was being devoured by a young spider, Phidippus tri- 

 punctatus [J. H. Emerton]. 



Paratettix cucullatus Burm. [A. N. Caudell]. This 

 liopper was abundant on the sandy shore at Wickes, Sep- 

 tember 6, 1919 ; many in copulo. 



Ceresa hubalus Fabr. [E. H. Gibson]. This tree-hop- 

 per was evidently a satisfying morsel for an unidentified 

 spider. 



Ormenes venusta Melch. [E. H. Gibson]. Being de- 

 voured by a spider, Phidippus audax Htz. [J. H. Emer- 

 ton]. 



Publicia fulginosa Oliv. [E. H. Gibson]. In early Sep- 

 tember this tree-hopper was abundant on the stems of 

 horse-weed and rag-weed. One was being devoured by a 

 wheel-bug, Arilus cristatus Linn. 



Acanalonica conica Say. [W. L. McAtee]. This pro- 

 tectively colored tree-hopper was being carried off by a 

 spider. It is of interest because the spider found this 

 protectively colored creature, and furtheiTnore, because 

 it carried its prey to a distance before devouring it. The 

 spider escaped unidentified, but was one of the jumping 

 kind, small and dark, such as are usually found on the 

 ground in low places.
