JULY 



The niimber of species on the wing in July is even greater than 

 in June. Butterflies are very numerous, some being second broods 

 of double-brooded species, and others late single-brooded insects. 



Sphinges are beginning to fall off, and so are the Bomhyces, 

 but the Noctucc and Geometrce are slightly on the increase. 



As regards the Micros, a good number of fresh species may be 

 expected, all the groups exhibiting a marked increase in the total 

 number on the wing with the exception of the Tine(r. 



Sugaring is likely to pay well this month, and many moths 

 may be attracted by light. Tree trunks and fences should be well 

 examined. 



Pupae may certainly be taken, but unless the collector is par- 

 ticularly desirous of obtaining the pupae of insects known to be now 

 passing through that stage, he will probably do better by looking 

 after imagines. 



Larvae, however, may well receive a little attention, providing 

 the setting of butterflies and moths leave a little leisure for other 

 employments. Beating by day, and searching by both day and 

 night, even if carried on only occasionally, will probably supply 

 you with as many species as you can accommodate in your glasses 

 and cages.
