PUP^E] 



Many species are now rapidly "taking to earth," and a large number, 

 besides those specified in the list, could be obtained by diligent searching. 

 But at this period of the year, with 



"Its glorious days of golden light," 

 and 



"its virgin roses' blushes, 



Warm as when Aurora rushes 

 Freshly from the God's embrace, 

 With all her shame upon her face," 



greater attractions are presented by the numerous insects which may be ob- 

 tained in the imago and larva states, especially as the search for many of the 

 pupae may be safely deferred till a later, and less busy period.
