TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
J. W., Hatfield. — Your larvae on 
Scrophularia nodosa would probably be 
those of Cucullia Verbasci, which feeds 
as freely on Scrophularia as on Ver- 
bascum. Early specimens of M. stella- 
larum have hybernated. 
G. H. P. — You must be mistaken in 
imagining you have met with Noctua 
glareosa and Heliophobus popularis now. 
H. G. J. — On a sunny afternoon, walk 
dowu Redpost Hill towards Dulwich, and 
look closely on the grassy bank to your 
left hand. Villica will probably be sun- 
ning itself on the bare ground near the 
foot of the palings. If unsuccessful at 
first, don’t turn into Dulwich, but con- 
tinue the road towards Forest Hill. Per- 
severe for ten days in succession. 
W. H. S. — The Aoari at Col- 
chester. — The differences to which you 
allude are partly due to sex, partly to 
age. Acari, like spiders, grow. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidoptera. 
Captures at Darenth Wood, April 22. — 
On beating the sallows this morning in 
the Wood, I found a larva of Apalura 
Iris ; there was no mistaking it, as the 
two horns at the head distinguish it from 
all other lame. My next capture was a 
fine Notodonta trepida, just out ; then a 
fine Ennomos illustraria graced my net, — 
a female, which has laid me a goodly 
number of eggs; these whh a number of 
Lithocolletis and Nepticula, with others, 
made me up a good day’s sport. — H. J . 
Harding, 1, York Street, Church Street , 
Shoreditch. <■

The season, I need hardly say, is as for- 
ward here as elsewhere. A. Cardamines 
was out at the beginning of this month. 
I have also taken a specimen of Cidaria 
Immanala ; is there a spring brood of 
this insect? — W. G. Rawlinson, The 
Chestnuts, Taunton , April 25. 
COLEOI’TERA. 
Coleoplera in North Devon .' — Since the 
end of last January I have commenced 
collecting Coleoptera. I fancy this part 
of the county will prove to be richer in 
this order than any other part of England, 
when it has been thoroughly searched, 
particularly Braunton and Northam Bur- 
rows, and the rocks about Lynton and 
Lymouth. All those species which have 
been taken on the opposite coast, near 
Swansea, will probably turn up here
