HIST., 7: 1994 preferred exhibits that gave additional information about the insects' biology or ecology. The Exhibition notice had been reworded this year to discourage the showing of long series of insects taken from a site in one season. A discussion took place on the practical application of this ruling with reference to some of the exhibits shown at the Exhibition. Various members then showed some of their slides. Dr J. Muggleton showed slides taken during a visit to the Sierra de Grados mountain range in Spain in June 1993. These depicted various wild plants, including narcissus, paeony, dwarf lupin, Lavandula stoechas and Endymion hispanicus. The invertebrates included various beetles, crickets, the local stick insect Leptynia attenuata found in a new locality, the mantid Empusa pennata, a centipede, and some termites found under a rock. After crossing the border into Portugal, Dr Muggleton also photographed a large solitary wasp, probably Scoliaflavifrons, that had alighted on a car window, and a mating pair of grasshoppers that were superbly camouflaged against the stony ground. Mr R. Softly showed some examples of the lesser yellow underwing moth, Noctua comes ab. sagittifer Cockayne taken at light on the Isles of Scilly, together with a specimen close to this form taken at Hampstead Heath. He also showed photographs of the dark spinach, Pelurga comitata (L.), a species not in the Agassiz list of Scilly Lepidoptera, and an as yet unidentified form of an Idaea sp. A typical larva of the chamomile shark, Cucullia chamomillae (D. & S.) was compared with an example found on Scilly. It was almost entirely white and was photographed feeding on the white flowers of mayweed where its coloration gave it excellent camouflage. Mrs F. Murphy showed slides of various spiders and plants seen on a visit to the Cote Sauvage, France, in the summer of 1993. In the previ
