THE LEPIDOPTERIST'S CALENDAR 



OVA] JANUARY 



postpone the season of pairing and laying until they have well-nigh worn 

 themselves ragged and bare. A knowledge of these facts will, of course, 

 aid the searcher in his discovery of eggs. Much time may be saved by 

 hitting upon the right time when, and the right place where, to look for 

 certain species, resulting from actual observation, or reasonable deduction. 



Many other species besides those named in the lists given in the Calendar, 

 whose larvae arrive at maturity towards the end of May, may be found during 

 this and the next two months, by searching the twigs, shoots, &c., of trees 

 and bushes.
