' THE DIGGINGS.' 



In the winter time, when the insects of the Lepidopterous orders have all 

 but entirely disappeared, their successors of the following generation are to be 

 found in the chrysalis state, or as I recently heard it called "the crystallized 

 state," in various situations; but chieily at the roots of trees, and especially 

 in those retired "nooks and corners" which afford the most shelter from the 

 severities of the brumal season, and where accordingly the soil is loose and 

 crumbling, and easily entered by the descending caterpillars. By procuring 

 these you frequently obtain several of the rarest species, which otherwise the 

 sight of would never gladden your entomological vision. 



You should have an implement made for the purpose, of iron, not too sharp, 

 but sufficiently so, and of any spade-like shape that may most recommend 

 itself to your judgment. Many insects are at the same time to be found in 

 the moss on the trunks of the trees ; and these you can look for at more 

 leisure, if you bring a quantity of the moss home with you, and examine it
