Dobson- began talking of red admi­ rals, peacock and orange tip butter- fifes, moon; moths,, oal: taautles, cfirpet moths, white ermin-e, and tqll moths. It became evident th a t they were riot alf to be dlsrnlssed with a casual glaiice] They were fprms of'llfe, said; Mr. Dobson, with mdiyldualities as ' varlbd as the different species [and i to g mark­ ings, which onlookers merely admire, were shown- to Be p a r t of a,-. systeiE of natural camouflage, or, in' direct contrast, a flamboyant warning to :“ keep off.” [ [The Indian Moon m c ^ , and a

f6ur stages of change, said Mr. Dobson. ' -From the egg came the caterpillar, [which developed Into the pupa and, finally, the perfect Insect. -AU growth occurred In -the caterpillar stage.' A remarkable' feature of the piipa of [the Privet Hawk Moth; which burled Itself in the ground; was! .that |f an east wind was blowing, the moth would not emerge until the following year.


CHOOSES ITS BIRjraDAY. Butterflies and [moths underwent


I t would delay .doing so for. as long as tliree years,la the event of successive bad seasons, -when


even artificial heat [would not. make i t emerge.


j r I Largest insect in Brltailn was the i - \


spicuously marked oii the undef- wlng, and was “ streamrlined ” for speed.! I t could -be seen flying in the parly evening.


The Privet Hawk moth was con­ ieath’s Head Hawk Moth, the only


ope th a t could'makea vbcal sound.: A lover of honey, ;it was p robber of bee-hives, but was not a ttuly British Insect In the sense of breed­


ing here through' successive gener­ ations. ■ ;

many defensive attitudes. In the caterpillar stage ; some iiad a very remarkable ; twig-llke shape, and others. Immediately: dirnger- ’wasj' sensed, ourled into grotesque shapes.: Others were protected jby barbed

showed the tooth on chrj'salls.


This moth was aptly named, for as one slide in particular showed, the inseef had a lovely ermine “. co at” on its back.


Criie of thp enemies of butterflies


and moths was the Ichneumon fly,- said Mr. Dobson. This fly laid its eggs in the larva, with the result th a t instead of -a -butterfly eventu­ ally emerging; there came out flies of an- impish type and very active on the wing.

! Another type 'of moth was the [ - i There wer|e also “mimic" butter-

I t was explained th a t the ” tolmlc ’’ was edible to its enemies, and obtained protection by its resemblance to another species which was distasteful, aUd adver­ tised the fact by I' warn-tog” colours (usually black arid yellow -bands)! 1710 -protection [was Increased -by the “ mimics ” being fewer to riumber. - |

[ WHAT TO SWAT. [ In answep to a question on how


to [distinguish a butterfly from a tooth, Mr.; Dobson- said a butterifiy ■always had a club ” - shaped antenna.
