Although the cold winds and occasional frosts which now begin to visit us tell of the 
approach of winter, the Collector must not yet suppose the “season” closed. This is the 
great month for captures at Ivy, which isnow in bloom ; and alarge numberof the autumnal 
species are attracted to the stupifying blossoms. The most delicious ‘‘sugar” ever con- 
cocted, evidently falls far short, in gastronomie attraction, of the honey of the fascinatin, 
Ivy, which is regularly resorted to every night soon after dusk, until severe frost kills off 
those species which do not hybernate, or makes those that do, retire to their winter quarters. 
The short period required for the intoxication, or stupefaction of the Moths, is remarkable 
The blossoms may be beaten or shaken into an umbrella, or clap-net, when the Moths are 
easily boxed, Sometimes the labours of the Collector are rewarded by the capture of the 
rare D. Rubiginea. However, if quality is not always represented at this green and ungaudy 
floral feast, quantity generally is, and the tyro may often date his first acquisition of 
duplicates from his numerous captures at Ivy. This, however, is not the only a traction to 
Moths. As before observed, flowers generally ave much frequented by them; and during 
this and the previous month they may be often found at night imbibing the sweet juices 
from the flowers of the common stinging-nettle. 
Tt has not been deemed necessary to mark the Imagos which hybernate, most of which 
are again referred to on their re-appearance in the spring.
