Pedarla, Leucojjho'aria, and BiipicaiJraria, which now appear 

 more plentiful^, the following species will probably be seen : 



Small Eggar (Lanesfris) | Oak Beautj^ {Strataria) 



Small Brindled Beaixty {His- I Dotted Border (Marginaria) 

 2)idaria) | March ]\Ioth {JEscularia) 



About half a dozen species of the TinecE will also have made 

 their appearance before the end of the month. 



MARCH 



Many of the hybernating larvae will come out during March if 

 the weather is mild, and commence to feed ; and the young cater- 

 pillars will begin to appear from the eggs of the early moths already 

 named. This is consequently a good time to commence the search 

 for larvae if you intend to go in for rearing. During the daytime 

 some maj^ be beaten fi-om the boughs of trees and shrubs : and those 

 which feed on low plants, being generally noctm'nal in their habits, 

 should be searched for in the evening, after dark, with the aid of a 

 lantern. 



The hybernating butterflies are now flying more freely than 

 before, and, if the weather is bright and warm for the time of year, 

 a few freshly emerged species may be seen. These may possibly 

 include : 



Large White (Brassiccc) \ Green-veined White {Ncq)!) 



Small White (Rapcc) \ Holly Blue {Argiolas) 



As regards motlis, several fresh species may be expected to 

 appear, while those named as appearing in February are still to be 

 found. The new-comers may include : 



Bombyces. j Noctuae — conf. 



Kentish Glory (Versicolor) \ Green-brindled Dot (Oleagiiia) 



Orange Underwing (P((r- 



thenias) 

 Light Oi-ange Underwing 

 {Notlm) 

 Geometrae. 

 Early Thorn (BihniariiA 

 Engrailed (Binndnl(iri(() 

 Mottled Grey {Multistricjurin) 



Yellow-horned (Flavicorn is) 

 Noctuae. 

 Pine Beauty (Pirujwrda) 

 White-marked Rustic (Leuco- 



graxiha) 

 Pied Chestnut (Bubricosa) 

 All species of the genus Tccnio- 



cfDtipa 

 Early Grey (Areola) 



Sugaring may be commenced towards the end of March, and 

 sallow blossom may be searched in the evening, but it is probable 

 that only a few species will be taken by these means. 



A few more species of the Tim'cc appear in Rfarch, and four or 

 five of the Toririccs are out before the end of the month.
