LOCAL HABITATS. 
A good plan, when a quantity is found, is, 
after examination, to put it into an open jar to 
attract insects, or lay it in a lump under a 
hedge ; and when it begins to rot, many insects 
will be found in it. The grubs may be placed 
in a breeding jar by themselves, with plenty of 
food. 
Windows, &c. harbour many insects, and 
should always be examined ; a collection of 
gnats, might be made from these situations 
alone. Spiders' ivebs, both in and out of doors, 
occasionally entangle rare insects. 
Granaries, &c. The sweepings of grana- 
ries, corn bins, &c. particularly if corn has lain 
some time in them, will repay the trouble of 
examination. Some beetles and the caterpil- 
lars of several species of small moths will be 
found in the rubbish, particularly Tinea gra- 
nella. Tanyards, corn mills, and bakehouses, 
will also reward a search. 
Hop Gardens. The hop plant is infested 
with many peculiar caterpillars and beetles. 
But as it is too valuable to be beaten as before 
directed, many insects may be detected lurking 
under the leaves, while the plants are growing. 
But when the hops are being picked, those who 
live in the neighbourhood, have a fine opportu- 
nity of getting many insects.
