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.

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.
