Capture of Vanessa Antiopa near Kingsbu?*y, Middlesex. — I was fortunate enough 

 to take a fine female specimen of V. Antiopa'on Saturday the 10th instant, at the well- 

 springs, in this parish ; it was hovering over some nettles when I first saw it, — does 

 the larva ever feed on that plant ? if so, it probably was laying its eggs. The margins of 

 the wings are very white, and the blue spots are remarkably bright; from its general ap- 

 pearance it had evidently hybernated in the perfect state. — Frederick Bond ; Kings- 

 bury, April \2th, 1847.
