Halisidota caryae Harris. May, June. A note in Proc. Nat. 

 Sci. Assoc*. Staten. Island 1:4. 9 F 1884, records the fact 

 that a number of these moths, hatched under the influence of 

 artificial heat in midwinter, emerged from the cocoons about 

 7 p.m. In May and June this would have been the proper hour, 

 for they could have dried their wings by the last rays of the 

 setting sun. In December and January it was much too late, 

 and the moths were found to move their positions so as to receive 

 the full rays from the lamp.
