This species is very common amongst the weed attached to

they build and occupy nests.

pi. iv,fig. 8 . — Bate and Westwood, p. 442. 
This species also builds very pretty nests among the branches 
of various kinds of zoophytes. In one of these we found a 
mother with the young of different ages, demonstrating tolerably 
clearly in this comparatively low group of animals the instinct 
of maternal love.
