The following larva may he found upon the Hawthorn : — Pieris Cratcegi, (the Black-veined White;) 
Episema ctsruleocephala, (the Figure of 8 Moth ;) Lasiocampa Quercus, (the Great Egger ;) Trichiura 
Cratcegi, (the Oak Egger;) Pcecilocampa Populi, (the December Moth:) Erio^aster lanestris, (the 
Small Egger;) Gastropacha Quercifolia, (the Lappet Moth;) Orgyia antiqua, (the Vapourer;) Por- 
thesia chrysorrhcea, (the Yellow Tail ;) P. auriflua, (the Brown Tail ;) one of the greatest pests of our 
hedges ; it feeds gregariously on various plants : in some years its increase is enormous. In 1782, prayers 
were ordered to be read in all churches, to avert impending calamity from the vast number of larva that 
abounded in that year ; having despoiled every hedge and tree, it was feared that they would extirpate 
the growing corn and grass. Nisclia Qxyacantlia, (the Green Brindled Crescent;) Acronycta tridens, 
(the Dark Dagger;) A. Euphrasice. Yponomenta Evonymella, (the Full Spotted Ermine;) and Y. 
padella, (the Small Ermine.) Some years these two species are nearly as destructive to hedges in this 
neighbourhood as the Brown Tail. The diligent Entomologist may collect 400 or 500 species of insects 
from the blossoms of the Hawthorn during the time it is in flower, by beating it into a good bag net and 
carefully examining the contents.
