1915] Frost — Remarks on Collecting at Light 209 



Liite in the summer a species of lace-winged fly (Chrysopa) 

 becomes common and I was once surprised to receive a sharp bite 

 on the arm from one of these deUcate insects. 



The largest insects that have come in were Telca polyphenms 

 and Prionus pocularis. 



The list of Coleoptera is very small compared with the species 

 of Lepidoptera that have been taken, but it may be of interest to 

 record them for many of the species (as Macrohasis torsa and 

 Liopus alpha) must have flown at least a mile from their breeding 

 places into the thickly settled part of the town.
