their legs in a creeping pofition, and let them continue 
expofed to the air until all the moifture is evaporated 
from their bodies. 
Butterflies and moths, as well as all flies with mem¬ 
branaceous wings, fliould be taken with great care, left 
the beauty of their plumage be injured. When taken, 
run a pin through the thorax or flioulders, between the 
fore-wings. After this is done, the wings fhould be ex¬ 
panded, and kept fo by the pre fibre of fmall flips of pa¬ 
per for a day or two. Moths expand their wings when 
at reft, and they .will naturally take that pofition. 
The beft method of procuring the raoli perfeft butter¬ 
flies is to find out, if pofiible, the larva or caterpillar of 
each, by examining the plants, fhrubs, or trees, they ufu- 
ally feed upon, or by beating the (limbs and trees with 
long poles, and thereby (baking the caterpillars into a 
(heet fpread underneath to receive them; to put them 
into boxes covered with thin canvas, gauze, or cat-gut, 
and to feed them with the frefh leaves of the tree or 
herb on which they are found ; when they are full grown, 
they will go into the pupa or chryfalis date, and require 
then no other care till they come out perfeft butterflies. 
Moths might likewife be procured more perfect, by 
collefting the caterpillars, and breeding them in the fame 
manner. It may be necetTary to obferve, that in breeding 
thefe kinds of infects, Come earth fliould be put into the 
boxes, as likewife fome rotten wood in the corners; be- 
caufe, when the caterpillars change into the pupa (late, 
fome go into the earth, and continue under ground for 
many months before they come out into the moth date ; 
and fome cover themfelves with a hard cruft, made up of 
fmall pieces of rotten wood. 
After the infefts are properly dried, they may be 
placed in the cabinet or boxes where they are to remain : 
thefe boxes fhould be kept dry; and alfo made to (hut 
very clofe, to prevent fmall infefts from injuring them ; 
the bottoms of the boxes fliould be covered with green 
wax, over which paper may be laid ; or, which is better, 
lined with cork, well impregnated with a folution of cor- 
rofive fublimate, in a faturated folution of crude fal-am- 
moniac in water, an ounce of which will diffolve twenty 
fcruples of the fublimate. The fineft collections have 
been ruined by the depredations of fmall infects ; it is 
impoffible, therefore, to have the cabinets too fecure. 
Such infedts as are thus attacked may be fumigated with 
fulphur ; if this prove ineffedtual, they may be immerfed 
in fpirit of wine, without injury. But baking the col¬ 
lection in an oven is the moft effedtual method of extir¬ 
pating thefe enemies when too numerous for partial ap¬ 
plications.—To deftroy caterpillars and other infedts in
