Noticed it again May 25 ^[2 specimens] & 26 one specimen May 26. found under oak bark. May 25 found two larva (identical)not 1 inch long & evidently not half grown in a wh. hickory stump. Probably the larva was at least 2 years, as the imago only appears May & June [content of diagram] Larva of Alaus oculatus Harris p. 48 [[image - diagram of larva]] Black Mahogany maho mah light mah. to penult segment too wide 9 beneath & [[ground?]] ^above light yellowish light mahog- extreme length ^ over 2 [[strikethrough]] tenths [[/strikethrough]] inches depth .15, width about .3 Walked [image - curved line diagram, indicating movement shape], not straight.

Breeds there, doubtless. -Four specimens of Areoda lanigera have been brought to me early in May from two different quarters, said to have been dug up in garden ground.

Pupa is quiescent, but [[underlined]] can [[/underlined]] crawl, straight on its belly, a pretty good hickory. May 28. My first Chauliodes rastricorius Ramb. came out, from pupa found 10 days ago. Larva found 3 weeks ago had on 28th all gone to pupa. One of them stuffed, and preserved. They are aquatic or subaquatic & having been found on the lower side of a log afloat on edge of slough. But they [[strikethrough]] pop [[/strikethrough]] come out of water & go to pupa under logs, & one under bark of a log, forming a cell as does Corydalis cornutus. May 28. Took 3 very large [[Ceramb.]] larva from a very rotten bass log. 2-inch long, legs very short, segments much humped, & a dorsal darker line along back - also a smaller similar one, probably a year younger - say 1-inch long. Tia pailis [died] Bred 4 orchesias - from the woody fungus of [[bolerophym?]] cornutus. Larva no anal horns - specimen preserved - length .2 head yellowish, mouth piceous, 6 legs, walk well.
