 thus contributing to the welfare of pilferers of the food. 



Lepidoptera, that is, caterpillars, are apparently not a favorite 

 food of the redhead. A few were eaten in the months from April to 

 October, inclusive, but in !May only do they reach 10 per cent of the 

 food. The average for the year is 1.6.3 per cent. One harmful species, 

 the wheat-head army worm {HeliopJiila alhilinea), was identified in 

 one stomach, which contained about a dozen specimens. Dragon- 

 flies, spiders, and millepeds, bits of a crayfish, eggshells, and a few 

 bits of bone and hair of some small rodent, altogether make up the 

 remaining 1 per cent.
