GREEN HAIR-STREAK. 
The caterpillar is pubescent, light green or green- 
ish-yellow, with a row of triangular yellow spots on 
each side, and a white line just above the feet. It 
feeds on brambles, broom, and many other plants. 
The fly appears in the end of May, and beginning 
of June; a second brood takes flight in August. 
It is not a very common species, but its ascertained 
localities indicate that it is pretty generally distri- 
buted throughout England and the southern division 
of Scotland. It occurs in Darenth Wood, Bromley 
Thickets in Essex, in Devonshire, &c. We have 
seen many specimens from the neighbourhood of 
Raebills, and other parts of Dumfriesshire, and have 
observed the butterfly occasionally in some of the 
central districts of Roxburghshire, “ Keswick, and 
some of the Yorkshire Wolds,” G. Wailes, Esq.
