you may look into your Boxes, to fee if you have any Fes bred; remembring that out of 
fuch as are produced in this manner, much more perfe& Fes may be chofen, than any that 
‘can be caught; and as feveral Sorts of Caterpillars go down into the Earth, and there 
change to Chry/alis, fome Earth muft be put into the Boxes for that Purpofe, at leaft two or. 
three Inches deep. Never take the Chryfakdes out of the Earth, nor difturb them till the 
Flies are bred. . 
There is yet another Thing proper to be known, in order to compleat your Collection. A 
great Number of Caterpil/ars go into the Earth, and there change to Aurelie, whole Moths. 
are feldom upon the Wing till Night, thefe 4urelie are to be got by digging with fuch a. 
Trowel as the Bricklayers ufe, about the Roots of Trees, fuch as Oaks, Elms, Limes, Pop-- 
lars, Willows, &c. alfo by the Sides of Walls and Pales. The. ufual Time to dig for them, 
is from September to. March. 
When you have obtain’d a Number of 4urelie by digging, you muft provide for them: 
thus: Get fome Earth and fcowering Sand, mix them well together, and put the Mixture 
into fome large Garden Pots ; lay your Aurelie thereon, covering them with Mofs; then: 
few a Piece of Crape Hatband round a {mall Hoop, and put fuch a Cover on cach Pot, in 
order to receive the E/jes when bred, which will uftally be in the Months of March, April; 
May, and June. Thave always kept my Pots of Aurelie out in the open Air, and the ues 
have been produced with great Succefs ; however it may be.proper to place a Piece of Board 
over each Pot, to prevent unforefeen Accidents. 
Thofe who think proper to put thefe Direétions in Practice, will, Tam convinced, in a. 
fhort Time, be poffeffed of a great Number of valuable Flies. What Food the Caterpillars. 
mentioned in this Work chufe to feed on, the Time when they, 
change into Aurelie, and when they iffue forth. 
in the Fly State, may be feen. 
in the Defcription of. 
. each Plate.
