W. T. — The larvae of Syringaria will 
no doubt hybernate small ; keep them 
out of doors during the winter. 
J. F. M. — Your insect is Eremobia 
ochroleuca ; we cannot vouch for the 
nativity of the dealer’s insects. 
W. N. F., Bath. — We cannot recog- 
nise the larva from your description, un- 
less it be Acronycta Psi. 
H. T. T. — 1. The larvae require to 
have their insides squeezed out, and must 
then be inflated by means of a straw and 
dried (whilst kept inflated) over a lamp ; 
pupae require only to be dried. 2. To the 
end of the Noctuae, 4d. 3. Geotrupes 
stercorarius. 
Acuekontia Atropos and Sphinx 
Convolvuli. — We have a fearful -pile of 
notices of these insfects ; we cannot insert 
any more, unless there be something un- 
usual in their mode of occurrence, or the 
locality be very peculiar. 
J. B. — Your Coleophora larva is pro- 
bably Lineolea, feeding on Ballota nigra, 
Minnie. — The “curious creature” is 
the larva of the cockchafer [Melolonlha 
vulgaris, 
Correspondents who are disappointed 
in not seeing their communications in 
print are reminded that we have still a 
considerable accumulation of arrears, 
which we expect gradually to overtake.
