C. Cardui feeds on the thistle, under a web; from three to six or so on a plant. 
Although thistles seem its natural food, it much prefers the common stinging nettle. 
§. OceLtatos aNnp 8. PopruLt,—It is well known that a second brood of many species 
may be obtained by a slight forcing. 8. Ocellatus and 8. Populi are, however, pretty regu- 
larly double-brooded in the south and west of England, in confinement, without forcing ; 
though a second brood of Ocellatus has, we believe, never been seen at large. A second 
brood of Populi, however, not unfrequently occurs if the summer be hot. The larve of 
these appear then in this month. 
The bedstraws are the food-plants of C. Hlpenor; Galium Palustre and Uliginosum being 
the favourites. It will also eat vine, fuschia, and willow herb, C. Fureula prefers sallow to 
poplar. ‘The preference of C. Vinula is for the Lombardy poplar. P, Monacha likes 
oak best, and only seems to take to fir by constraint. 
The Larvee of N. Typhw are not full-fed until the end of this month. It is little use 
collecting them until they have assumed, or are about to assume, the Pupa state. WM 
Piniperda has a remarkable resemblance to the spines of fir trees, on which it feeds. Hi. 
Lichenea having hybernated from November, feeds on many plants, and may be taken 
full-fed from April to July. Besides dock, T. Rubricosa willeat elm. C. Chamomillee almost 
defies any attempt to fix its time of appearance. It has been taken in the Imago state both 
in February and in June; and full-fed and very young Larve have also been found in June. 
B. Kilmunella seems confined to the North. Where the Larve# of C. Brongniardellum 
feed in company, they make large, bladder-like blotches on the upper side of the oak leaves.
