b guft. "This Fly is very common in moft Hay-Fields at thofe Times, and is eafily

SHE PURPLE HIGH-FLYER, or Emperor or THE Woops. 
Neither the Caterpillar nor Chryfalis of this charming Fly has been yet difcovered, al- 
though fought after with the utmoft Diligence for feveral Years paft. The Butterfly appears 
at the End of uve and Beginning of Fuly, and may be taken in Comb-Wood in Surry, 
about Weftram in Kent, and in other Places. It flies like a Hawk, delighting to foar aloft 
and skim in the Air. When it fettles it is ufually on fome extreme Part of the Oak, Hafe, 
or Af-Tree: and what is very fingular, I myfelf have feen twenty of them taken on the fame’ 
Branch one after another, for although the Fy feems to be extremely wild whilft on the 
Wing, yet, when fettled, you may lay your Net over it with little Trouble. 3
