OCTOBER 



As there is very littlewinged life this month, and the larvae have 

 nearly all sought out their winter quarters, special attention may be 

 given to pupa:;. The earlier this work is started after the insects 

 have completed their change the better. If left late, many pupae 

 will have been destroyed by floods, moles, &c., and a prolonged 

 series of frosty days may render digging unproductive if not im- 

 possible. Again, it must be remembered that some larvae are not 

 yet down, and by digging at the roots of the trees on which they are 

 feeding, you are preparing an acceptable bed for the late species, 

 for the pupte of which you may call again in about a month. 



Larv* may be obtained by beating and searching as before, but 

 this work should be done as early in the month as possible, since 

 but few are feeding after the first week or so. 



Butterfly catching is now practically over, only a few of the late 

 species and the hybernators being on tiie wing, and these only on 

 mild days. 



NoctucB are still attracted by sugar and ivy blossom, and a few 

 may be found at rest. Geometrce and Micros may be taken 

 from palings and tree trunks by day, or caught flying at dusk.
