These last may be taken at sugar in considerable numbers, and 

 it is interesting to note that two of the Vanessas (Atalanta and 

 Cardui) may be caught sipping on your baited trees during the 

 daytime. 



Geometrce and Micros fall off very considerably this month, but 

 these, as well as moths of the other groups, may be taken from 

 tree trunks and palings. Light traps may also be used with much 

 success during August. 



Fallen fruits should be examined for the larvae that feed within 

 them ; and late in the month ripe fruit will supply food to the 

 lovers of sweets. 



Ivy blossom should be well worked at night ; and clover and 

 lucerne fields form admirable hunting grounds for moths at night, 

 especially just after rain. 



Larvae are to be obtained in abundance by beating and search- 

 ing, the latter process being conducted by night as well as by day.
