-pupze of most other Lepidoptera. The moth is on the wing 
generally in May. 
The Deatnu’s-Heap Hawxk-Mortu (Acherontia atropos). 
This, the largest of all our moths, is not uncommon around 
Carlisle. At different times I have obtained both larve and pupe, 
but have never succeeded in rearing them. 
The ConvotvuLus Hawk-Moru (Sphinx convolvult ). 
This very fine insect is found every season in this locality. 
It has a very long trunk; one I measured was five inches and a 
half in length. 
The Bepstraw Hawxk-Mortu (Deilephila galli). 
This is a very rare insect here. I took one on a wall in the 
London and North Western Goods Station, and another at rest on 
the West Walls. It occurs here in June and July. 
The SILVER-STRIPED Hawk-Motu (Cherocampa celerio). 
The only specimen of this insect I have seen here I took at 
Dalston Hall, on some palings. It may have come here amongst 
the logwood used at the works at Dalston. 
The Sma. ELEPHANT Hawk-Mortn (Cherocampa porcellus). 
The EvepHant Hawk-Motu (Cherocampa elpenor). 
Both of these moths are common here in June and July. I 
have taken them at Orton, at Newby Cross, and Hen Moss; and 
they are commonly found on the sand hills at Silloth. They can 
be taken with the net at night when they are flying about the 
flowers of the Ragged Robin. These two moths are very much 
like each other in colour and in markings; but the Elephant 
Hawk-Moth is larger than the other. The larva feeds on the 
Willow Herb in August and September. 
The Humminc-Birp Hawxk-Mortu (MJacroglossa stellatarum), 
This moth is commonly found every summer about Carlisle. 
I have seen them in the gardens at Edentown, at Botcherby, at 
Morton, and at Bellevue.
