NOTES ON THE LIFE HISTORY OF ARGYRIA NIVALIS, DRURY

Abstract

This moth was rather common at Ithaca, New york, in 1892 and 1893. The moths fly in the afternoon and early evening of the latter part of June and most of July. They are attracted to lights to some extent, but those taken are mostly males. The eggs are laid in clusters upon blades of grass. They are firmly attached to the leaf, and the five or six in a cluster over-lap more or less.
