HOW TO KNOW THE INSEQS 



63. In fast flowing streams hold a water net tightly ap-ainst the 

 bottom of the stream while stones Just up stream are moved or the 

 bed dug up so that hiding Insects may swim or be washed Into the 

 net. 



64. Low sheltered places will often yield some rood specimens In 

 early spring before Insects are out elsewhere. 



65. An Insect net attached to an automobile sometimes gets an 

 am^azlng number of specimens. 25-50 m.p.h. seems to be right for 

 speed. The net should be emptied every tv/o or three m.lles. 



PAPERING BUTTERFLIES 



" Oj'/E reference has been made to "papering" moths and 

 ^""^ butterflies, A well mounted collection of these 

 y- scaly winged Insects makes a most colorful and In- 

 "'■ terestlng display. Moths and butterflies are more 

 difficult to handle, however, than most of the other 

 Insects and must receive the best of care. Papers 

 are for use in keeping moths, butterflies, and dra- 

 in good condition until they can be mounted. They are 

 made by cutting rectangular strips of smooth paper and folding 

 them Into triangles as shoirm. As many of these papers as the col- 

 lector expects to need may be folded in advance of a trip and be 

 ready for use. Several sizes should be made to accommodate dif- 

 ferent sized specimens. Since these papers will become moist 

 whe"n the specim.ens are relaxed later, colored papers and glue or 

 paste should be avoided or the specimens may. be ruined. If trans-
