218 GREEN HAIR-STREAK. 



The caterpillar is pubescent, light green or green- 

 ish-yellow, vrith a row of triangular yellow spots on 

 each side, and a white line just above the feet. It 

 feeds on brambles,, broom, and many other plants. 

 The fly appears in the end of May, and beginning 

 of June ; a second brood takes flight in August. 

 It is not a very common species, but its ascertained 

 localities indicate that it is pretty generally distri- 

 buted throughout England and the southern division 

 of Scotland. It occurs in Darenth Wood, Bromley 

 Thickets in Essex, in Devonshire, kc. We have 

 seen many specimens from the neighbourhood of 

 Raehills, and other parts of Dumfriesshire, and have 

 observed the butterfly occasionally in some of the 

 central districts of Roxburghshire, " Keswick, ana 

 some of the Yorkshire Wolds," G. Wailes, Esq.
