feeds, from September to May, on Scots pine (_Pinus sylvestris_), and
occasionally on larch. The moth is out in June and July, and sometimes in
September. It may be jarred from the pine boughs, and is not infrequently
seen resting on foliage of the undergrowth. Generally distributed in
fir-woods throughout Great Britain, and widely spread in Ireland.

The range abroad extends to East Siberia. {270}

THE LIGHT EMERALD (_Metrocampa_ (_Eudalimia_) _margaritaria_).

When quite fresh, this species (Plate 108, Fig. 6) is of a delicate
whitish-green colour, but the green tint is apt to fade or to change
colour, so that the wings are almost ochreous white sometimes.

The eggs shown on Plate 106, Fig. 3, were kindly supplied by Mr. Norman
Riley.

The caterpillar ranges in colour from greenish brown to purplish brown, and
is frequently freckled with a darker shade of the general colour; there is
sometimes a pale patch on rings 6 and 7, and the sides are fringed with
fine bristles along the spiracle area. It feeds, from September to May, on
the leaves of oak, birch, beech, elm, etc., and during the winter will
nibble the bark of the younger twigs, and also eat the buds.

The moth, which is partial to the woodlands, is out in June and July, and
is pretty generally distributed over the British Isles, except the
Hebrides, Orkneys, and Shetlands.

LARGE THORN (_Ennomos autumnaria_).

This fine species was first definitely ascertained to occur in Britain in
1855, but it had been reported as British at a much earlier date, and was
figured by Wood in 1839. Up to 1859 it had only been recorded from the
North Foreland and Margate in Kent, and from Brighton, Sussex. In 1862, a
specimen was taken at Brighton and one at Deal, the latter a female. Two
examples were secured at Gosport, Hampshire, in 1865, and one at Deal in
1867.

 feeds, from September to May, on Scots pine (_ Pinus sylvestris _), and 
 occasionally on larch. The moth is away in June and July, and sometimes in 
 September. It may be jar from the pine boughs, and is not infrequently 
 seen rest on foliation of the undergrowth. Generally circulate in 
 fir - woods throughout Great Britain, and widely unfold in Ireland.

 THE LIGHT EMERALD (_ Metrocampa _ (_ Eudalimia _) _ margaritaria _). 

 When quite fresh, this coinage (Plate 108, Fig. 6) is of a delicate 
 whitish - green colour, but the green tint is apt to slice or to change 
 colour, so that the wings are about ochreous white sometimes. 

 The eggs shown on Plate 106, Fig. 3, were kindly supplied by Mr. Norman 
 Riley. 

 The caterpillar ranges in coloring material from greenish brown to purplish brown, and 
 is frequently freckled with a darker shade of the general semblance; there is 
 sometimes a pale patch on rings 6 and 7, and the sides are fringed with 
 fine bristles along the spiracle area. It feeds, from September to May, on 
 the leaves of oak, birch, beech, elm, etc. , and during the winter will 
 nibble the bark of the younger twigs, and also eat the buds. 

 The moth, which is partial to the woodlands, is away in June and July, and 
 is reasonably generally distributed over the British Isles, except the 
 Hebrides, Orkneys, and Shetlands.
