92 CATAIOSITE OF MOTHS. 



Not a common species, and only taken near Darlington by 

 Mr. Sang. The larva feeds in acorns, and the insect must be 

 looked for in oak woods.

The larva of this insect feeds in apples and sometimes in 

 pears, but the imago is of very retiring habits, and it is not often 

 noticed in the perfect state. I have no records except at home. 

 Mr. Gardner says he has taken odd specimens, and I took it once 

 in my own house in Hartlepool.

Mr. Sang records (Ent. Mo. Mag., vi,, 170) having bred this 

 species from a larva found near Darlington. It is a species 

 more frequently found in the perfect state than as a larva, and 

 he only found one, in April. The books give August as the 

 time for the appearance of the larva, but it probably hybernates. 

 No entry of this insect appears in his "Diary," where most of 

 the others referred to in the note quoted from are duly entered. 

 The insect has been taken at Scarborough.
