April,1919 Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society. 63 
stalks of grass and weeds. This will prevent the paper from 
settling and at the same time give the larve a chance to get into 
the folds. Heavy material, such as sheet-iron, wood, or stones 
should be laid down hollow. By this method of collecting the 
writer secured the following species of Apantesis larvee: anna 
_ and var. persephone, arge, nats, vittata, radians and phalerata. 
Anna and vittata inhabit dry woodland; arge and nais open dry, 
grass covered fields; radians and phalerata wet, swampy places 
and even salt meadows, their larve feeding upon the salt meadow 
grasses. The first part of November and again in the spring 
have proven most favorable for collecting larve of the above 
mentioned species.
