LARV-E] 



NOVEMBER 



A large number of hibernating larvae hide away early, and are seldom seen 

 again until the spring. Thus several specified under this month may not 

 have been seen since July, August, or September. Several others come out 

 to feed occasionally, when the weather is mild.
