THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 133 
missed were rambling away on the ground 
in quest of something to gratify their 
carnivorous taste, and then return to the 
trees for a change of diet. — It. S. Edles- 
ton, j Bourdon, Cheshire ; July 16 . 
Punishment of Incredulity . — On Mon- 
day, the 27th of June, we took an ex- 
cursion from here to Rombald’s Moor to 
collect, and I then proved to be true what 
I had often read of in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ 
but never before believed. Having caught 
a female Oak-Eggar and put it in a small 
box under my arm, I began to try to 
catch some males which were flying about 
me, when I noticed that they were flying 
after me, instead of I after them. I soon 
found that they were attracted by the 
female, and we were not long in catching 
a considerable number, for they were flying 
round us in all directions, and I saw them 
approaching from distances which were 
certainly not less than 200 yards. We 
also got several good specimens of Anarla 
Myrtilli and larva? of the Oak Eggar. 
I have written this, hoping that it may 
convince some of the readers of the ! In- 
telligencer’ who are as hard of belief as 
I was, and tempt them to try their luck 
in a similar manner. — George Hudson, 
27, Stansfield Row, Kir/cstall, near Leeds ; 
July 8. 
EXCHANGE. 
Sphinx Ligustri . — I am rearing this 
insect from ova, and have a few larvae to 
spare, which I will send to any one on 
receipt of a suitable box with return 
postage. I am also rearing from eggs 
S. Bombyliformis, C. Elpenor, A. Myr- 
tilli and S. Carpini. — W. H. Taylob, 
Tolson Street, Sunny Bank, Leeds; 
July 1 2. , 
Limenitis Sibylla . — We took, on the 
1 1th inst., in Old Hall Wood, near Ips- 
wich, several specimens of this insect, and 
also a fine female Apatura Iris, together 
with many other common insects. We 
shall be very happy to exchange L. Si- 
bylla for V. C-album , A. Galatliea, M. 
Artemis ; or two of the same for H. Lu- 
eina or L. Candida. — J. & E. Fison, 
Stoke Hill, Ipswich ; July 12. 
Epione Vespertaria. — I have again 
taken this species in some numbers, and 
shall be glad to receive duplicate lists 
from any gentlemen in want of fine spe- 
cimens. None but good examples will 
be of any service to me. — W. Prest, 
7, Castlegate, York; July 15. 
Exchange. — I have duplicates of the 
following insects : — 
Coenonympha Davus, 
Polyommatus Argiolus, 
Tamiocampa Populeti, 
„ Munda, 
Phragmatobia Fuliginosa (larvae and 
pupae), 
Trachea Piniperda (larvae). 
I shall be glad to hear from gentlemen 
wanting any of the above, at the same 
time requesting them to name what they 
have about equal for exchange. Larvae 
or pupa? would be preferred.— J. Steele, 
High Street, Congleion; July 15. 
Exchange. — Having duplicates of 
E. Vespertaria, I avail myself of the 
opportunity afforded by your journal of 
offering it for exchange. I have also 
duplicates of A. Lonicerae, C. Mesomelia , 
T. Pastinum, and a few of A. Porphyrea 
and H. Uncana. Gentlemen to whom I 
have promised any of the above, but who 
until now I have been unable to supply, 
would much oblige by informing me if 
any of the above-named species are still 
amongst their wants. — R. Anderson, 
Coney Street, York. 
Exchange. — I have examples of N. Se- 
nex, L. Pudorina,H. Uncana and E. Ves- 
pertaria to spare, and shall be glad to 
hear from gentlemen in want of those 
species. As my stock is limited (having 
already been diminished by draughts upon 
it), I must beg that applicants, who may 
not receive a written reply, will pardon
