The Bi'i(j]it-U)ie Brown-eye {Hadena oleracca) Every collector is sure to meet with this insect during his first season. The moth is abundant everywhere in June, the caterpillar may be found feeding in almost every waste and weed\' spot in August and September, and the chrysalis is certain to be tm'ned over by the pupa digger. The fore wings of the perfect insect are reddish brown. The orbicular spot is usually very indis- tinct, being of almost exactly the same tint as the ground colom% and surrounded by a very fine whitish hne. The reniform is generally more conspicirous, a portion of it being of a light ochreous colour. Near the hind margin, and parallel with it, is a white line, bent shai'ply into the form of a W, just on the anal side of the middle. The hind wings are greyish brown in the base, and dark smoke colour towards the margin. The caterpillar is pale green or brown, dotted \\ith both black and white, and adorned with a bright yellow line just below the spiracles. It feeds on the nettle (Urtica dioica), dock {Bumex), and many other low plants ; and, according to some observers, on therein! [Ulmiis caDipeatris)..
