Bradyepetes A mat aria. — I was sur- 
prised last year at the appearauce of fine 
specimens of this insect almost imme- 
diately after the worn ones had dis- 
appeared. I suspected a second brood, 
though I think it is not generally con- 
sidered double-brooded: this year I de- 
termined to try. I captured a few fine 
specimens on the 23rd of June, and two 
females laid eggs. The eggs are queer 
little things, bright crimson, and so 
elongated as to resemble in shape those 
ol the common blow-fly. The larvae ap- 
peared in a few days, and fed on Persi- 
caria : they are very pretty when young, 
being ringed with black and pale brown 
alternately, but as they grow the rings 
widen and fade gradually out; the larva, 
at the same time, gets flatter and ap- 
proaches in form to those of the Acidalice, 
and when full grown is pale brown, 
almost without markings. The pupa is 
quite butterfly-formed and suspended by 
the tail to a slight web. The larva state 
does not last more than a fortnight, and 
the pupa a week. The perfect insects 
began to appear on the 26th of July, and 
in three days all were out. In a few 
more days the second brood appeared out 
of doors, and I obtained eggs again, but 
these were twice as long before they 
hatched, and the young larva: fed very 
slowly, and when nearly half-grown 
stopped feeding, and settled themselves 
down to hybernate. — Ibid.
