CHAPTER IX. 



I HARDLY need 

 say that it is 

 very necessary 

 for an insect col- 



lector to be well acquaint- 

 ed with the locality of 

 trees and bushes whose 

 flowers are preferred by 

 insects, aud also the time for their flowering. 

 Many butterflies are also attracted by the sap 

 of certain trees. One of their favourites is a 

 handsome tree with bright green leaves (Kigelia 

 Africana), bearing bunches of a large pendent 

 deep crimson bell-shaped flower, the fruit, like that 

 of the Baobab, hanging down like huge sausages.
