  (3rd)

  the 
  moth 
  

   makes 
  the 
  usual 
  rush. 
  The 
  wild 
  rush 
  is 
  more 
  

   impressive 
  after 
  the 
  first 
  slow 
  laborious 
  

   emergence, 
  and 
  then 
  the 
  prolonged 
  

   quiescence. 
  

  

  I 
  made 
  some 
  observations 
  also 
  on 
  Triphaena 
  janthina.
