Linyphia insignis, Bl. 
An abundant species in all the well-wooded parts of the 
district. From June to September great numbers may be 
obtained by beating beech hedges, bushes, and the lower 
branches of trees. For a time only young and immature 
examples will be obtained; but by about the middle of 
August, or a little later, a few will be found to have under- 
gone their final moult, and in a few days adults become the 
rule. As autumn passes into winter they gradually dis- 
appear. : 
Dreghorn, Rosslyn, Penicuik, etc., June and July, very common, but all 
. young; Leven, Largo, Raith, etc., Aug., very common—first ad. gs on
