Met'ore the end ot'OetoKer they have all hibernated, prohalily in hollow trees, as their haunts are woodland roads. I attempted to carry two females fhroii;:;h the winter hy enelosinu' them in a hox (of alioiit ItiO cul)i(^ cm.) and plaeimr it in a cold storai^e warehonHiim, erroneously considered liy sonic European aei identical with the |irescnt species, if said hy tlu' late Meyer Diir to have two ^fenerations, the first the hust of May to early 'h\\y, mainly from hiliernatinjj pupae hut also from hiheriiatiiiij: liutti-rtlies ; the .second from the middle of July until September; the latter brood is said to liave loss auLiuIated fori' wiuifs and brii^hter ixronnd colors than the spriuij fxcnera- tion ; tiie hu'va is said to live on nettle, elm, ciu'nuit and Lr^t'berry.
