ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
A. F., Chichester. — Oak or maho- 
gany will do well. Ask the maker which 
will be the cheapest. 
G. R. R.— No fresh 'issue of Mr. 
Doubleday’s Catalogue has yet taken 
place. 
Acherontia Atropos. — Several en- 
quiries have been put to us lately, How 
long does the insect remain in the pupa 
state? We should be very glad if such 
of our readers who have had experience 
on the subject would inform both us and 
our enquirers by sending some notes on 
the duration of the pupa state of the 
Death’s Head to the Editor of ‘The 
Substitute.’ 
Lasiocampa Rubi. — No difficulty in 
feeding it : it eats freely heather and 
bramble. No difficulty in rearing it if 
kept out of doors through the winter in a 
cage exposed to the weather. 
C. D. S. — We are glad to hear of your 
catching Dragon - flies : unfortunately 
we do not know a recipe for preserving 
the colour of their bodies. 
J. P. T. — Sorry we can’t assist: could 
you get a little patience , perhaps next 
year you will find several of them your- 
self. 
Several communications have reached 
us loo late : we have handed them to the 
Editor of ‘ The Substitute.’
