like dust from their wings, that is, all except such 

 as are tightly fastened on along the edges of the 

 wings shown in the two types of the clear-wing 

 moth (Figs. 105 and 107). 



Some of the smaller moths resemble wasps, 

 some of them look like bumble-bees and some like 



the Ichneumon fly. One of the bumble-bee kind 

 (Fig. 108), is shown in the grasp of a white spider 

 and the drawing is made from a water-color sketch 

 which I painted while watching the white assassin 

 kill the bumble-bee moth. This happened near my 

 log cabin on the shores of Big Tink Pond in 

 Pennsylvania.
