Abstract
WITH reference to the paragraph in NATURE of August 18 (p. 389) on the striped hawk moth, on May 23 this year I found a specimen alive in a thick bed of lily-of-the-valley; it had just emerged, and had never flown. Warmwell is two miles from the sea as the crow flies; possibly the parent was a migrant, but the moth I found had passed through its metamorphosis in this country. The insect lived twelve hours after capture, and is now in the collection of Mr. O. Picard-Cambridge, of Bloxworth.
