THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
their elder brothers, not unlike the gym- 
nastic exhibitions at an amphitheatre. 
M hen they are about one-third grown 
they look as stiff as a toasting-fork, and, 
holding tightly with their posterior fan- 
shaped legs, project themselves just like 
a row of hat-pegs or saucepan-handles. 
Pray pardon these tinkering similes, as 
I could not hammer out a more correct 
description.

Chcerocampa Celerio at Worcester. — A 
fine specimen of this rare species was 
captured in October last in this city, at 
rest upon a wall. The fortunate finder 
was a stranger to Entomology, but it so 
happened that a person who is ento- 
mologically disposed was passing near 
the spot at the time, and became the 
possessor of it. Another individual who 
had been an entomologist for many 
years had the gratification of beholding 
it with longing and admiring eyes im- 
mediately after its capture. I am happy 
now to say that it has become a fixture 
in one of the drawers of my cabinet. 
I have been careful to obtain documental 
evidence of the capture,. duly signed by 
the parties. — I bid; MarchS, I860. 
OBSERVATIONS. 
Zeuzera TEsculi. — The nurserymen 
around Hackney and Clapton will sustain 
great losses this season by the ravages of 
this insect in the larva state, as it attacks 
indiscriminately the young growth of elm, 
ash, sallow, thorns, lilac, privet and holly, 
both British and foreign. I have seen 
twenty larvce taken from one small privet 
bush. In many cases, to stop the ravages 
of the larvae, the nurserymen are rooting 
up the shrubs and burning them. — II. J. 
Haiiding, 1 , York Street, Church Street, 
Shoreditch.
