12th May 1949. 

The stung Aphides collected on 30.4.49 & by mistake labelled on card as having emerged on this date, but correct date of emergence was 12th May!  A.W.S. April 1953.
  
The hottest day of the year so far.  W. breeze, soft, & blazing sun all day, but anticyclone breaking up! 

Some Aphidius sp. ♂︎ & ♀︎ emerged from stung Aphides taken on Mr. Green's Senecio (from N. Wales) (but grown from seed in garden, so insects all native) (? Senecio vulgaris X squalidus) = Aphidius sp. renominatus Hincks 3♂︎♂︎ (ant. 16-17), 3♀︎♀︎ (ant. all 14.)  Owing to growth of mould in tubs it was not possible to preserve the empty skins of the Aphides!
