A number of the Micros are also out this month. About twenty species of the _Pyralides_, one or two of the _Pterophori_, a few _Crambi_, about fifty of the _Tortrices_, and no less than two hundred of the _Tineae_. The collector will do well to search fences and tree trunks for these moths, whenever he has the opportunity; and also to use the net freely in wooded country, waste places, and along hedgerows, _before_ and at dusk. JUNE There is a marked increase in winged insect life during this month. The early butterflies are disappearing, or perhaps have quite left us; but new species are taking their place. The _Sphinges_ now reach their maximum, as do also the _Bombyces_; and the other groups are almost if not quite up to their highest total. The _Noctuae_ and _Geometrae_ each amount to over a hundred species. No less than a hundred and fifty British _Tortrices_ are on the wing; the _Tineae_ make a near approach to three hundred, and the _Pyralides_ of the month are not far short of numbering a hundred species. It will thus be seen that the net and pill boxes, as well as the setting boards, are in constant demand. Dull days may be well occupied in beating for moths, and in the examination of fences and the bark of trees; and on bright days, as soon as the butterflies have settled down to rest, the same work may be carried on till dusk. Micros and _Geometrae_ are out early in the evening, when they should be taken with the net. Later on the _Noctuae_ may be seen playing round their favourite flowers. Sugar and light traps are likely to do good service during June, and decoy females of the _Bombyces_ group may be called to your aid. Larvae are also abundant during June, and those of most of the butterflies may be taken by carefully searching their food plants.
