[[left-hand page]] 10) May 22. Noticed Cicindela b-punctata under oak bark, & have 4 or 5 times so noticed it this spring. Does its larva reside there & prey on timber-borers? Noticed it again May 25 ^[[2 specimens]] & 26 one specimen [[space is blank. appears that an image may have been pinned to the page. Copy wraps around blank space]] 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 lives at least 2 years, as the [[imago?]] only appears May & June. May 26. [[Imago?]] of Cetonia fulgida Fals. found under bark of a decaying black oak (or red oak) not materially rotten. Breeds there, doubtless. -- Four specimens of [[dreoda lanigera ?]] have been brought to me early in May from two different quarters, said to have been dug up in garden ground. One I saw myself on the ground, just after it was dug up [Dug --one up myself in my garden in 1862.] [[end page]] [[start page]] 11) May 28 '68. All my four pupa of Chauliodes still to come out, ^[[{all were ♀}]] have a two-fold upper caudal process (.1 long or less) & an inferior process of two soldered together. Pupa is quiescent, but [[underlined]] can [[/underlined]] crawl, straight on its belly, a pretty good hickory. --May 28. My first Chauliodes [[browned ink]] rastricoruis Ramb. [[/browned ink]] came out, from pupa found 10 days ago. Larva found 3 weeks ago had on 28[[superscript]]th[[/superscript]] all gone to pupa. One of them stuffed, & preserved. They are aquatic or subaquatic 2 having been found on the lower side of a log afloat on edge of slough. But they [[strikethrough]] pup [[/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 [[baso ?]] 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. [[Tin-pail ?]] [died] --Bred 4 orchesiae - from the woody fungus of [[bolerophagus ?]] cornutus. Larva no anal horns - specimen preserved - length .2 head yellowish, mouth piceous, 6 legs, walk well. Body whitish. [[end page]]
