JOSEPH MERRIN. LONDON : K. NEWMAN, 9, DEVONSHIRE STREET, BISHOPSGATE. )8(i0. G-r PRINTED BY JOHN BELLOWS, STEAM PRESS, OLOUCESTER. INTRODUCTION. To know how to do a thing is a great step towards its ac- complishment; but to know exactly vj/im to do it, is often the one thing needful to insure success. This applies with great force to the pursuit of Natural History, and particularly to Lepidoptera. The regularity with which, at certain definite dates, most species of Butterflies and Moths ordinarily appear, IS something almost marvelloits ; and many species are not obtained in fine condition through inattention to the time of their advent, while some may be missed altogether. The annual loss to Science in specimens and knowledge from Oollector.s not looking after LarviB at the only times when they are to be found cannot be estimated, but it must be very great. The want of a work giving in a concise form the necessaiy information where, and how to find Lepidopterous Insects each month, has long been felt, and particularly so of late years, when the attractions of the study of the Lepidoptera have become so largely recognized. But although there were many far more able Entomologists than the Author, who might have prepared such a work, nothing was done; and he ha.s, therefore, made the attempt. In this, he has received the invaluable assistance of several of our ablest Entomologists, including Mr. F. Bond, Mr. P. H. Vaughan, Mr. J. W. Douglas, Rev. Joseph Greene, Eev. H. Hai-jjur Crewe, Mr. Readin", Mr. Teai-le, and others, to whom he desires to express his grateful thanks. Although every care has been taken in giving the daten of appearance, it is evident that some little allowance must be made for the difference of locality, and for our variable climate, and other causes, which militate against an unerring accuracy being always attainable. The reader is, however, requested to remember, should ho see anything stated which is new to him, or hardly in accordance with his own opinions, that it has not been lightly adopted, but that it rests on the authority of experience of a much longer period than tlie Author's, and over a far more extended area. Time and place being the main things to be indicated in a Calendar, the order of the various families of Insects is of courae much broken into ; and many speciea in different stages are brought into contiguity, whose simultsxneous appearance may have been before unsuspected. Most reatlers of the Calendar will be perfectly familiar with the leading characters of all the chief families ; and it is therefore unnece-ssary to refer to them. The neces.sity of botanical knowledge for the successful pursuit of Entomology has always been undisputed. Without it, the food-plants wmnot be ascertained ; and unless a large portion of the Collector's operations is devoted to retiring species through all their stages, neither his collection nor his knowledge can make that satisfactory j)rogress which they will make if this more occult part of Lepidopterology is steadily pui-sued. Tlie large number of " unknown Larvse " may doxibtless be gi'eatly reduced by a more universal pursuit of this branch of the study. The time and food of several ajjpear in the Calendar, which have not before been published except in an isolated form, " Low plants " will probably be found to yield the largest per centage of these mysterious strangers ; and all througli the year they should receive tlie special attention of the energetic student. "With respect to the plan of the work, it may be observed that the nomenclature adopted is that of Stiiinton. In' giving the times of appearance of tlie Lai-vie it has not been thouglit desir- able to increase the bulk of the work by specifying the dates which would include the whole period of Larvie-life ; the time chosen has, therefore, been when the Caterpillar is nearly full-fed, except when it is hatched in the autumn and feeds up in the spring, when the two dates are given. The food of the Larvte has generally been ranged under a heading when more than one species feed upon it. This grouping of the food will much facilitate the capture of the L&rvie, by in- dicating at a glance the various species which feed upon a l)articular plant at a particular time; while identification is much facilitated. The time given for the Images includes the earliest at which they appear, in ordinary seasons, so that the Collector may be able to secure them in the best condition. In some months, the number of Insects might have been much increased if forward seasons were taken as the guide ; but it was tliought better to take the average of ordinary yeare. If a season is unusually backward or forward, a slight allowance is easily made. Space for memoranda, for this and other pur- poses, has been provided in the alternate blank pages, which arrangement has been tliought preferable to "the ordinary .system of inter-leaving. It is hojied the brief notes under most of the months, will be Ibund to contain ,some useful hints; and that the Calendar, altogether, will prove a useful Time-(Juide to the Lejiidopterist throughout the year.

A little tree and hush-beating into an umbrella may also be tried with advantage. During this month and tlie next 15. Plumbaria may be found feeding among heath and clover. It will thrive on ftlrze flowers. C. Culmellus and C. Tristellua should be sought for under damp moss ; S. Olivalis seeks concealment in a white web on the under-side of ground ivy. The LarvEB of most of the Leucanidai may frequently be found by pulling up conspicuous tufts of C. Lanceolata or L. Pilosa, &c., and gently beating them. The breeding of the Bryophilaj may be dispensed with, as the Images may be found at the right time (July and August,) on tlie spot where the Larvie were seen. A. Unaniinis does not feed in the spring. It is full-fed at the end of the autiunn, and conceals itself under loose bark on willows and poplars, or amongst the soil at their roots. Towards the end of March it comes out and wanders about for a few days, when it spins a slight cocoon, either under bark or at tixe foot of the tree, and assumes the Pupa state. PUP.ffi.] The dead leaves of birch and oak will sometimes yield I. Pectinea, 1. Muscalella, and I. OelUmannieUa ; and moss on rotten trees, L. Rubrlcollis. At the base of oak trees, onder moss, T. Munda and H. Piasinana may be found. ' THE LEPIDOPTERIST'S CALENDAR 16 MAKCH. 16. THE LEPIDOPTERISt's CALENDAR IMAGOS.] P. BrassiciE, e „ Eapa3 A. Cardamines, e L. Mgeria, m P. Argiolus T. Rubi, e D.

Tincta, and other low-plantfeeders, apparently liking a change of food, may sometimes be found at night eating the buds of birch and other trees. G. Obscurata, resting ft-om his grass-feedmg. may sometimes bo found concealed by day among stones. P. Porrectella spina up in a wob on the under-side of the leaves of Dame's Violet and Garden Rocket. For S. Apiformis and T. Vespiforme wait till the Pupre are bedded near the entrance of the burrow. The Lai-va of T. Sphegifoime feeds in young .suckers of alder, where the old tree has been cut down. It eats a gallery up the centre of the shoot nine or ten inches, by which time it is full-fed. It then turns aside and eats at right angles through to the bark, where it assumes the Pupa state. P. Fuliginosa frequently hides under the leaves of borage. N. Plantaginis and C. Elin- guaria are best found at night. E. Lichenea is hard to breed away from its native habitat. A. Occulta can only bo found in the evening. The greatest care is requisite in breeding C. Alsines, as they are easily injured by shifting their food. C. Xerampelina now issues from its winter quarters, nearly full-fed. It is very retired in its habits, and feeds sparingly on ash shoots and thorn. To talte A. Myrtilli, gently dear away the bottom of the heath, and shake it into the net. B. Ropandata feeds indifferently upon all sorts of underwood. Search the under^vood of one or two years' growth, and the grass at the edge of ridings, with a lantern immediately after dark, every mild evening. Largo numbers of dilferent Larva may bo thus taken during this and the following month. Nearly all the genus Noctua can be thus easily found. Grasses, rushes, and carices are now productive of sundry Elaohistidaj and Coloophoraj, and severol of the larger tribes. Sheltered spots in woods and lanes are the best places ; and for the larger species wet evenings the best time. Vibumimi lantana, the Mealy Guelder Rose, is an early tree, and will repay a search. Whitethorn trees nourish hordes of com- mon Lan'B". For K. Trapeziella examine the under-side of the leaves of Luzula pilosa. T. Verhuellella seems well distributed, and must be caught now, mining in leaves and seeds of A. Ruta muraria and other ferns. L. Rubiella is often too common in raspberry shoots.

Virgaureana THE LEPIDOFTEUl.ST S CALENDAU JUNE. 66 THE lepidopterist's calendar LARViE.] JUNE. From the end of this month to August, the iloliciite green larva of P. Machaon may be found in fens and marshes, feeding on umbelliferous plants. This, the largest of our Butterflies, never thrives when removed from its marshy hahilat ; all attempts to natu- ralize it in other localities having failed. The late Mr John Wolley once turned out a large number of the perfect insects in the neighbourhood of Matlock, and in the autumn of the same year the larva; were found feeding on the common fennel ; but only an occasional straggler of the perfect insect was seen the following season. A similar er[)eriment lias been tried in Devonshire, and as soon as the Imagos emerged (Vom the chrysalis, they were pursued and devoured by swallows. Birds often snap up a Butterfly when on the wing at some height tVom tlie ground, and the severed wings .sailing slowly downwards are all that remain to tell the tale. Towards the end of the month. G. Rhamni may be found of all sizes on the two Buck- thorns, B. Catharticus and Prangula. Sloe bushes in the neighbourhood of woods should be beaten this month for T. BetiuGe. C. Ligniperda may be taken at night by visiting the trees which can be seen to have been bored by this strong-smelling three-year wood-feeder. If roughly handled, it feigns death for some time. C. Spinula is found on mountain ash, as well as hawthorn and sloe. Tlie ordinary food-plant of P. Fusca is bramble, but it is also found on sloe, and other plants. It moves about in a case composed of crossed pieces of leaf, gra.ss &c. It is two years feeding. T Cratjegi are extremely various in their appearance. Though hawthorn is their food- plant they will eat plum, &c. They often die whilst changing their fourth skin. L. Trifolii IS seldom found far ftom the coast ; and when a number are removed from their habitat, there is generally a large per-centage of deaths. L. Griseola, though a lichen-feeder, will not refuse sallow and other plants. With L. Complanula, M. Miniata, and CE. Quadra, it should not be sought for later than the beginning of this month, or perhaps better at the end of May, as all these species are often iUU-fed at that period, and if left too late, may be found to be ichneumoned. L. Complanula is more especially found on the lichens on ash and elm. P. Falpina has a knack of wriggling olf the branch it is on, as soon as the branch is touched. P. Cassinea lies close along the petiole of a leaf, and is not easily seen. Tliough elm and hazel arc its favourite food, it will eat of almost any tree ; as also will P. Populi. P. Cassinea, although not generally fuU-fed until this month, Is sometimes more forward ; it should, therefore, also be looked for in May. The little black eggs of C. Biflda and Purcula may be now found on the upper side of the leaf of poplars, willows, and sallows ; whilst on the under side of the leaves of biroh, the white ones of L. Dictseoides, N. Dromedarius, and L. Camelina may be seen ; on poplars and sallows, those of L. Dictffio, N. Ziczac, and P. Palpiua; and on maple, those of h, Cucullina. The eggs of C. Munitata hotch this month, and hybemate to March. X. Lithoxylea, M. Strlgilis, „ Literosa, G. Trilinea, C. Morjiheus, and many others, may be found on older, red currant, beans, to., by visiting them with a lantern at night. The larva of C. Bxoleta now begins to feed upon dock, liladder campion, p.

Although thistles seem its natural food, it much prefers the common sthiging nettle. S. 0aELLATU3 AND S. PoruLi. — It is well known that a second brood of many species may bo obtained by a slight forcing. S. Ocellatus and S. Populi are, however, pretty regu- larly double-brooded in the south and west of England, in conflnement. \vithout forcing ; though a second brood of Ocellatus has, wo believe, never been seen at large. A second brood of Populi, however, not unfroquently oocui's if the summer be hot. The larvte of these appear then in this month. Tlie bedstraws are the food-planis of C. Elponor ; Galium Palustro and Uliginosum being the favourites. It will also cat vine, fusclii.i, and willow herb. C. Furcida prefers sallow to poplar. The preference of C. Vinula is for the Lombardy poplar. P. Monacha likes oak best, and only seems to take to flr by c^oiistraiiit. Tlie Lsr\'io of N. Typho! are not fiUl-fod until the end of this month. It is little use collecting them until they have assumed, or are about to assume, the Pupa state. T. Piniperda has a remarkable resemblance to the spines of flr trees, on which it feeds. B. Lichenea having hybernatod from November, feeds on many plants, and may be taken full-fed from April to July. Besides dock, T. Uubricosa will cat elm. C. Chamorailte almost defies any attempt to flx its time of appearance. It hn.s been taken in the Imago state both in February and in Jiuie; and full-fed and vorj- young Larvajhavo also been found in June. E. Kilmunclla seems confined to the North. Where the Larva of C.

Among the Bomliyccs CRpe- cinlly, it ia not unusual to And two series of transformations in the twelve months ; but, by a wise provision of nature, the development of a portion of the brood is sometimes retarded. With some of the Geometrina, three broods are regularly obtained in confinement ; while some of the Bombyccs, Psyoidiie, and Coleophonc, require twenty- four months, and even more, to enable them to complete their round of metamor{>hoses. It is impossible to detail the mode best adapted for the capture of each individual species, in this or any other month ; it will be sulHcient generally to remind the collector that the chara<-.ter of the locality in which he happens to be, and the, nature of the species he is seeking, mn^^t he his cliicf guide, not forgetting the fact that, however far Moths nmy fly, they gencrnlly icliim lor n-st to, or near, what were thoir food-plants when Larvte. I'here is no more a " myjil kkhI " to rarities than there is to learning. The collector may, however, be reminded with n-lvimtage of the value of the beating-stick; while by sweeping, 'many species, both in the Imago and Larva states, which would remain invisible, are brought to light. All kinds of places fonn a harbour for insects. The beating-stick should be ener- getically applied to heaps of dry rubbisli, masses of grass, reeds, weeds, &c., tangled uudenvoou, haystacks, and thatch (the latter harboure many Depressarise, &c. ;) while " scarecrows," tree tnniks. leaves, flowers, i)alinga, posts, fences, walls, heaps of stones or sticks, logs of wood, out-houaes, roofs, iic, all ibrnish lod^ent- space, and a means of con- cealment to various spei^es, and should be scanned vigilantly. Vigilance, indeed, is eflpecially required, for many species closely resemble the substances on which tbey are in the habit of resting. 98 THE LEPIDOPTERIST S CALENDAR LARViE.] ON ALDER. L, N.

Tliis is the great month for captures at Ivy, which is now in bloom ; and a large number of the autumnal species are attracted to the slnpifinif: blossoms. Tlic most ililicimis "snr.n" ever con- cocted, evidently falls far short, in KastKnunoic attraction, of IIm- ti"IM\ (il iln l.lsriiKlfing Ivy, which is regularly resortcdt.Mviry oiKht soon after dusk, nniii rMi- imt Idlts oIT those species which do not hybcniatc, or makes those that do, retiie i,, tin n w infi r.ioarlrre. The short period required for the intoxication, or stupefaction of the Mi>tlis, is lemavkiibln The blossoms may be beaten or shaken into an umbrella, or clap-net, when the Moths are easily boxed. Sometimes the labours of the CoUector are rewarded by the capture of the rare D. fiubiginea. However, if quality is not always represented at thisgrecn and ungaudy floral feast, quantity generally is, t\nd the tyro may often date his fli-st acquisition of duplicates ft"om his numerous captures at Ivy. Tliis, liowever, is not the only attraction to Moths. As before obsor\ed, flowers generally are much ftequonted by them ; and during this and the previous month they may be often found at night imbibing the sweet juices from the flowers of the common atinging-nottlc. It lias not been deemed necessary to mark the Images which hybernate, most of which are again referred to on their re-appearanco in the spring. LARViE.1 ON APPLE. L. Cleickella N.
