Sheep Folds, &c. should at all times be 
searched ; and when the sheep are sheared, 
their parasites may be taken. Also about 
cattle, the hot files, {(Estrus,) &c. may be 
taken. White horses are much tormented 
with the forest fiy, (^Hipjjohosca equina.) 
Beehives produce the honey moth, (Galleria 
alvearia), &c. 
Wasps’ Nests, Rhipiphorus paradoxus. 
Hornets’ Nests, Velleius dilatatus. 
Ants’ Nests. Claviger has been 
found by Mr. Westwood in a nest of Formica 
fiava, in Oxfordshire. Dinarda dentata and 
Lomecusa emarginata, are also found in ants’ 
nests. 
Snails. Drilus fiavescens breeds in snails; 
the male is often taken in a lane leading from 
the village of Darenth to the wood ; the female, 
which is a fleshy insect, nearly an inch long, 
and apterous, is exceedingly rare. It might, 
however, be bred from the living snails. {Helix 
aspersa, &c.)
