ARCTIA VIRGO. 



For the last six years I collected during- the middle of July 

 Arctia virgo and raised from the eggs, obtained from faded fe- 

 males, larvae, which always hibernated in the larval state. This 

 year I obtained about 50 larvae, the greater part of which trans- 

 formed into pupae at the beginning of October and an imago — full 

 size, perfect — developed October 16th, soon afterwards thirteen 

 imagines appeared. 



Some of the larvae are— although of the same brood, only half 

 grown.
