♦Colias Edusa. Flying over clover fields

„ Hyale. Flying over clover fields 
at Reigate Hill, August 25. A female of 
this species deposited some eggs on my 
setting-board, although I had poisoned 
her with oxalic acid ; they duly hatched 
in five days, and have since fed on Medi- 
cago saliva. Trifolium repens and T. sub- 
terraneum; they are now feeding on the 
last-named plant. They are of a yel- 
lowish green colour ; head small in pro- 
portion to the body. When in a state of 
repose they lie along the middle of the 
leaf’s superior surface, so that at night, 
when the leaf closes (as most, if not all, 
the Trifolii do), they are quite inclosed 
by its segments, showing the all-wise 
provision of our Creator, in guiding the 
delicate larva to seek such a beautiful and 
effectual domicile, from the cold, cutting 
winds it would otherwise be exposed to: 
the edges of the leaves meeting quite 
close together, they appear almost her- 
metically sealed in. They appear to have 
the power of ejecting their excrement 
with some degree of force, for although 
they never leave the food-plant, being 
very sluggish in their habits, I find it 
nearly an inch above them, adhering to 
the glass lid of the breeding-cage, which 
by chance had a little spun silk on it.
