Abstract
IT is a quite common experience to see Ophion luteus fly into houses at night attracted by light. I have myself captured at least half a dozen specimens that had in a single hour flown into a room in that way. Not long ago Dr. James Waterston, at my request, dissected a fresh female specimen, and found in it a poison gland, reservoir, and duct similar in character to those recorded as being present in certain other species of Ichneumonidæ.
