In visiting the sallows a sharp look-out should be kept for Larve, who, like the 
Moths, are enjoying their supper, many species only venturing out to feed at night. A 
little tree and Leben into an umbrella may also be tried with advantage. During 
this month and the next B. Plumbaria may be found feeding among heath and clover. 
It will thrive on furze flowers. C. Culmellus and C. Tristellus should be sought for under 
damp moss ; 8. Olivalis seeks concealment in a white web on the under-side of ground ivy. 
The Larve of most of the Leucanidw may frequently be found by naling np conspicuous 
tufts of C. Lanceolata or L. Pilosa, &e., and gently beating them. The breeding of the 
Bryophile may be dispensed with, as the Imagos may be found at the right time (July and 
August,) on the spot where the Larvee were seen. 
A. Unanimis does not feed in the spring. It is full-fed at the end of the autumn, and 
conceals itself under loose bark on willows and poplars, or amongst the soil at their roots. 
Towards the end of March it comes out and wanders about for a few days, when it spins a 
slight cocoon, either under bark or at the foot of the tree, and assumes the Pupa state. 
PUPZ,] 
The dead leaves of birch and oak will sometimes yield I. Pectinea, I. Muscalella, and 
I. Ochlmanniella; and moss on rotten trees, L. Rubricollis. At the base of oak trees, under 
moss, T. Munda and H, Prasinana may be found. ’
