In 1854-5-6, the larras of this local Bomhyx were very abundant 
along the cliffs at Whitsand Bay, from Kame Head to Sharrow 
Grotto ; but now, great difficulty is experienced in finding even an 
example in habitats where it was no task formerly to obtain a hundred. 
The cause of this scarcity was the systematic collecting of this larvaa 
by local Lepidopterists, for the 2000 other British collectors of 
insects.
