Being recently on a visit to this pretty little frontier town, I devoted a few hours to my friends the resident Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, and well indeed were my labors rewarded, as the sequel will show. The season was rather advanced for Lepidoptera, but there must have been an enormous supply of their larvæ, for I noticed the fatal results of their “grubbing” powers on many of the surrounding trees; oaks, maples, hickory and walnut in particular, were filled with larvæ of Dryocampa senatoria, D. stigma, D. rubicunda, Halesidota caryæ, H. tesselaris, and a variety of species unknown to me by name, though we have taken several similar ones near London. but have failed to rear them.
