ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
H. S., Birmingham. — There is no 
cheap complete work on the foreign 
Lepidoptera. June and September are 
the principal months for caterpillars. 
You cannot tell till you have dug 
whether there are pupae at the root of a 
tree. We have no agent at Birmingham ; 
those who want the ‘Intelligencer’ at 
once have it sent direct by post; all for 
this season, after this dale, will be sent 
on receipt of 4s. in postage stamps. 
J. B., Sleight’s Bridge. — Your 
larvae are all common that in the Hy- 
pericum shoots is Catoplria Hypericana. 
S. R. M., Isle of Man. — We had no 
idea we had any readers in the Tsle of 
Man. You want to know if you are the 
sole representative of entomologists in 
the island : if we have any other Manx 
reader perhaps he will communicate with 
us. The island has been very little 
worked entomologieally, but if you keep 
your eyes open you may do something 
towards it yourself. 
R. W., Westward. — Your beetle (?) 
got squashed in the post; it appears to 
have been one of the Hemiptera or bugs. 
R. G., Cheltenham. — The common 
centipede ( Scolopetulra vulgaris). 
E. P. T. — The larva of Sphinx Con- 
volvuli feeds principally upon the small 
bindweed ( Convolvulus arvensis) ; it is 
green or brown : see description in No. 4 
of the ‘Manual of British Butterflies and 
Moths.’ There is no harm in looking 
for it; it is, however, very rarely found 
in this country. 
G. G., N. — Received with thanks. 
W. R., Rotherham. — Name shall ap- 
pear as requested. 
J. J. R , Plymouth. — The insect sent 
is Tischeria marginea ; a larva of Trifolii 
for description will oblige. 
J. P. T. — The larva of Saturnia Car- 
pini feeds on a variety of plants, heath, 
hawthorn, strawberry, Sc., &c. Potaloria 
remains a pupa about a month. 
Greenhorn. — Wait till you sec how- 
many applications you arc likely to have ; 
supposing you have twelve letters applying 
for any rarity you have captured, put aside 
the first three, and supply the other nine 
before you pay any attention to them. 
The three first applications will, in all 
probability, be from greedy entomologists 
who take all they can get and give as little 
as they can. 
P. V., Hampstead. — It is the second 
edition of the ‘ Entomologist’s Annual’ 
for 1855 that contains the instructions
