first of August; the majority of the Orthoptera, however, mature 

 about mid-summer and abide until killed by the cold of autumn. The 

 collector in IHorida finds no such precision of appearance among 

 Orthoptera, for even as far north as Jacksonville, Dichromorpha 

 viridis may be found from April to November, and probably occurs 

 during the intervening months as well. Scirtctica inannorafa picta, 

 Psiiiidia fciicstralis and a mnnber of other species may be found in a 

 mature state during most of the year in central Florida, and in the 

 southern part of the state, the adults of most species may be met with 

 at most any time. Thus we have collected nymphs and adults of 

 Stilpnochlora margincUa Serv. at Fort Myers and vicinity, in March 

 and April, and at Miami an adult male and two nymphs, one about 

 one half grown and the other very small, were found in September. 

 While the individuals of a species show a tendency to mature about 

 the same time, some few, by reason of their strength and by good 

 fortune in escaping their enemies, do long outlive the majority of 

 their kind.
