Hibernation.—The winter is passed in the adult stage, presumably under any adequate shelter. In ."December, 1906, I found many sluggish adults inside of cracked gourds in a field in Brunswick County, and this may be a common place for hibernation. On October 31, 1900, at Ealeigh, I found many eating into and inside of gourds which were green, but the vines of which Avere dead. But I helieve that many (per- haps most) of them pass the winter under rubbish or trash. Emergence in Spring.—March 10, 1904, I found adults common in blooming strawberry fields in Pender County. By March 25, same year, had noted them feeding on opening leaf-buds and flowers of fruit trees at both Southern Pines and Raleigh. In 1907 I noticed first adults in flight at Raleigh on March 22. In 1908, on March 25, adults were plentiful at Ealeigh feeding on many kinds of new vegetation. In 1909, April 16, at Louisburg, Pranklin County, I found them abundant on young pear foliage, many females heavy with eggs; though an assist- ant noted adults mating freely as late as May 17 in 1907, at Raleigh. In 1913 I saw the first active adult in garden at Raleigh on March 29. Later Habits of Adults.—In October, 1900, I noted that adults were common on goldenrod and aster. On May 17, 1907, Mr. R. S.
