LITHOCOLLETTS HOETELLA. L. EOBOEIS. L. AMYOTELLA. 



These all mine oak-leaves, and have very pretty variegated 

 ivings, white or yellow, and with golden-brown bands and 

 dots, and delicate gray underwings, with white cilia. 



The collector must also seek the leaf rollers as well as 

 the leaf miners. 



GEACILAEIA SWEDEEELLA. 



common on the oaks in May, June, and August. The 

 upper wings bright-reddish, with a violet gloss, pale-yellow 

 streaks, and triangle, and under wings of shining gray. 

 This pretty little creature sits upon its tail when at rest, 

 with a smooth head and its long antennae folded back ; not 

 difficult to catch. 



GEACILLAHIA SYEINGELLA. 



Abundant in gardens where lilac-trees suffer from the 

 rolling up of the leaves, and the little chocolate-variegated 

 moth conies forth to give another brood to the already 

 disfigured trees. 



COLEOPHOEA GEYPHIPENNELLA. 



There are about forty-one species of these moths whose 

 larvae make tents in the most ingenious manner, eating away 

 the parenchymas of a leaf until enough is hollowed out for 

 a, convenient habitation, and then joining with silken threads 

 the upper and lower cuticle, they cut it quite out and walk 

 off with it. These are found commonly on Hose-trees in 

 May, and the little moth in June. Other species on 

 Stellaria, Sallows, Hawthorn, Ground Ivy, the Pear, the 

 Plum, and the Cherry in May, when the pupa cases may 

 be. collected and the moths taken. 



OENIX GUTTEA. 



A pretty spotted moth whose larva folds down the edge 

 of apple-leaves and feeds there.
