pastures and grassy fields in both the dune and ihiland areas, 

 in the beach grass and bunch grass habitats, and in dry stubble 

 fields near the Warren Woods and Three Oaks. It is quite 

 scarce in such dry situations. Hancock reports it as being 

 taken at Lakeside in August and on September i8.

Very common in sedge and lizard's tail marshes, low, wet 

 meadows, weed thickets, and other similar situations through- 

 out the region. Specimens were also taken in dry, grassy fields 

 and pastures, the open, grassy margins of woods, fields of 

 second growth scrub, and low forest margin thickets; also 

 among the emergent vegetation in the reed marsh at New 

 Buffalo, and on vegetation in the buttonbush swamps of the 

 Galien River flood-plain. It is fairly common in cultivated 

 fields and orchards. 



The males of this species apparently become adult some- 

 what earlier in the season than the females ; males were taken 

 June 21, while the first adult female was not found until July 

 2. This species was taken by Hancock at Lakeside in August, 

 and has been recorded from Berrien Springs by Riley.^® All 

 of the specimens here recorded except two are of the red- 

 legged form {fcmoratus Burmeister).
