Butterflies and Moths (British)

As regards the Micros, a good number of fresh species may be expected,
all the groups exhibiting a marked increase in the total number on the
wing with the exception of the _Tineae_.
Sugaring is likely to pay well this month, and many moths may be
attracted by light. Tree trunks and fences should be well examined.
Pupae may certainly be taken, but unless the collector is particularly
desirous of obtaining the pupae of insects known to be now passing
through that stage, he will probably do better by looking after
imagines.
Larvae, however, may well receive a little attention, providing the
setting of butterflies and moths leave a little leisure for other
employments. Beating by day, and searching by both day and night, even
if carried on only occasionally, will probably supply you with as many
species as you can accommodate in your glasses and cages.
