Nature biographies; the lives of some every-day butterflies; moths; grasshoppers and flies . Fig. IK The Parasitized Colony. Nature and thus reaching the hmit of its food-supply.

In choosing itsvictims this Limne-ria by no means con-fines itself to thesered-humped applecaterpillars. Earlyin the season it verycommonly attacksyoung Americantent caterpillars, inthe empty skin of which it makes its cocoon in thesame manner, while later in the season it attacks thelarvae of the fall web-worm and various other seems to prefer those species that live together incolonies. 12 A
