FEBRUARY. 31 



If we examine the fallen leaves of oak, beech and 

 hornbeam, we shall find in oak leaves the pupae of 

 the following Lithoculletide* — Roboris, hortella, Amy- 

 otella, lautella, quercifoliella, Hegeeriella and Cra- 

 merella ; in the leaves of beech, the pupa of L. fagi- 

 nella ; in hornbeam leaves, on the upper side, the pupa 

 of L. carpinicolella, and on the under side that of 

 L. tenella, while in the leaves of the evergreen oaks 

 the young larvae of L. Messaniella will be found. 



On old palings and licheny trunks of trees the larva? 

 of Solenobia inconspicuella may be found crawling 

 about if the day be fine; while in the fungi on the 

 trunks of the trees the larvae of Tinea parasitella and 

 Euplocamus Boleti may be found ; below the seeds 

 of the carline thistle (Carlina vulgaris), the larva of 

 Parasia Carlinella reposes in fancied security, while 

 in the seeds of the neighbouring burdocks {Arctium 

 lappa) the larva of Parasia Lapp>ella lies entrenched 

 within the hooked enclosure. 



In cases, under the leaves of the wild strawberry 

 (Fragaria vesca), the larvae of the pretty Lampronia 

 prcelutella may perhaps be found; while in sheltered 

 places, under the leaves of the ground-ivy (Glechoma 

 hederacea), we may most likely meet with the larvae 

 of Coleophora albitarsella in their black cases. 



Among the St. John's wort {Hypericum perfora- 

 tum), upon the sandy hedge-bank, we shall find the 

 " cigar" manufactory of Messrs. Gracilaria auro- 

 guttella in full work; while if we search the rotten 

 wood in the hedge-row we shall eliminate many of the 

 larvae of Dasycera sulphurella from their moist abode. 



Among seeds we shall find the larvae of CEcopkura
