186 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER, 
capsule, but in a few days they eat 
their way out, descend to the ground, 
construct an elongate, flat bivalve case, 
and commence feeding on the lower 
leaves of the food-plant. 
The path of discovery in this group 
has now proceeded so far that we 
think we can trace a law that “ all 
larvae of the Long-horned Moths feed, 
when young, in the seed-vessels of 
plants, but, when older, they occupy 
flat cases and feed on the lower leaves.” 
It now remains for entomologists gene- 
rally to test this law by discovering the 
habits of other larvae of the group ; 
Adela rufimitrella ought to feed on the 
seeds of Cardamine pratensis !

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
C. R. — Salicis lame will not feed up 
this autumn ; if your eggs are hatched 
already the larvae will hybernate small. 
J. F. M. — Mr. Stainton reckons to be 
“ at home” to any entomologist the first 
Wednesday evening in each month ; if 
his arrangements prevent his being at 
home the first Wednesday , some other 
evening will be announced instead. 
J. B. L. — Your larvie are Acronycla 
Rumicis ; we cannot say where the 
larva of the Lappet is to be looked for in 
winter.
