An Account of those Places where some Gentlemen

AURELIAN SOCIETY
Have been used to collect Caterpillars, Chrysalides and Flies,
In the following Months of the Year.
MARCH.
From the 15th to the 25th of this Month, a Moth called the Orange Under-Wing, may be taken in Hornsey-Wood, and in the Fields close to the Sides thereof. It flies in the Day-time, is an exceeding pretty Moth, and not to be met with in such Plenty any where else, that I know of. The Oak-Beauty, and some other Moths are bred in this Month, but are rarely met with in the Fly State.
