Answers to Correspondents. 
J. Peters.—Orgyia pudibunda Double-brooded.—Can you 
inform me if it is an unusual occurrence for a second brood of 
Orgyia pudibunda to appear in one year? | took some larve 
in the hop gardens in Kent during September, 1875. Imagos 
emerged May 8th, 1876; female laid eggs on 9th of May; 
the young larve appeared June 16th (thirty-eight days). 
They went to pupa July 29th. The second brood emerged 
October 9th, one male and three females; on the 11th two 
more appeared, male and female. The latter deposited a 
batch of eggs. Will the latter hatch during the cold season, 
or will they remain until the spring?—John Peters; 8, Bel- 
grave Road, St. John’s Wood, N.W., October 19, 1876. 
[It is not unusual; your eggs will probably not hatch until 
early spring.—-£d. | 
L. Benson.—Name of a Moth.—I caught a moth on the 
bracken, on the 18th of July, which had evidently only just 
come out. The antenne are brown, the head is green, and 
the body nearly white; the fore wings are green, with three 
transverse white lines, which are bordered with darker green ; 
the hind wings are white. I cannot find it in Newman’s 
‘British Moths.’ Will you kindly tell me what it is? 
[The moth you have taken is Halias prasinana. It is by 
no means uncommon. The reason you did not find it 
described in Newman’s ‘ British Moths’ is that it is a 
Micro-Lepidopteron,—a Tortrix.— Ed. | 
E. G. Browne (Eton College).—The pupe, of which you 
and a companion found two hundred and sixteen by digging 
at the roots of a row of eight elm trees, are probably those of 
members of the genus Tzniocampa, in large proportion, 
These will emerge in the spring.— Ed. 
N. Manders (Marlborough).—Eremobia ochroleuca is not 
uncommon, aud is generally distributed south of York. 
Wasps frequently kill and eat Lepidoptera in their imago 
and larval states. To rear Liparis dispar give the young
