28 THE BUTTERFLY VIVARIUM. 



insect enemies to which it is exposed ; with many 

 other particulars concerning its chequered career, 

 which would he out of place in this hrief general 

 description of the Vivarium. 



There is only one more insect shown in the design 

 for our insect-home, which is the pretty Euchloe 

 Cardimines, better known as the " Orange-tip." It 

 is an abundant species, seen frequently sporting 

 about sunny places in the early spring, of which 

 it is one of the most welcome and beautiful 

 harbingers. 



Cautioning all who have the care of an insect- 

 home to keep it scrupulously clean, and to take 

 care that the plants are always in a fresh and 

 healthy state, continually replacing such as refuse 

 to nourish in their miniature conservatory, I can 

 promise them an ample harvest of delightful and 

 instructive amusement.
