Pedaria, LeucopJicsaria, and Rupicapraria, which now appear 

 more plentifully, the following species will probably be seen : 



Small Eggar (Lanes tris] 

 Small Brindled Beauty (His-

Oak Beauty (Sfrataria) 

 Dotted Border (Marginarici) 

 March Moth (^scularia) 



About half a dozen species of the Tinece will also have made 

 their appearance before the end of the month.

Many of the hybernating larvae will come out during March if 

 the weather is mild, and commence to feed ; and the young cater- 

 pillars will begin to appear from the eggs of the early moths already 

 named. This is consequently a good time to commence the search 

 for larvae if you intend to go in for rearing. During the daytime 

 some may be beaten from the boughs of trees and shrubs ; and those 

 which feed on low plants, being generally nocturnal in their habits, 

 should be searched for in the evening, after dark, with the aid of a 

 lantern. 



The hybernating butterflies are now flying more freely than 

 before, and, if the weather is bright and warm for the time of year, 

 a few freshly emerged species may be seen. These may possibly 

 include : 



Large "White (Brassicce) 

 Small White (Rapce) 



Green- veined White (Napi) 

 Holly Blue (Argiolus) 



As regards moths, several fresh species may be -expected to 

 appear, while those named as appearing in February are still to be 

 found. The new-comers may include : 



Bombyces. 



Kentish Glory (Versicolor) 

 Yellow-horned (Flavicornis) 

 Noctuae. 



Pine Beauty (Piniperda) 

 White-marked Rustic (Leuco- 



grapha) 



Eed Chestnut (Eubricosa) 

 All species of the genus Ttenio- 



cam pa 

 Early Grey (Areola) 



Sugaring may be commenced towards the end of March, and 

 sallow blossom may be searched in the evening, but it is probable 

 that only a few species will be taken by these means. 



A few more species of the Tinea appear in March, and four or 

 five of the Tortrices are out before the end of the month. 



Noctuae cont. 



Green-brindled Dot (Oleagina) 

 Orange Underwing (Par- 



thenias) 



Light Orange Underwing 

 (Notha) 



Geometrse. 



Early Thorn (Bilunaria) 

 Engrailed (Biundularia) 

 Mottled Grey (Multistrigaria)
