Abstract

IN reply to Mr. C. E. Robson's letter in NATURE of September 20, I write to say that I have lately become the possessor of two specimens of Sphinx convolvuli. The first one was caught at Deal on September 12; it shows signs of wear, and had probably come over from the Continent. The second I took myself in Queen Elizabeth's Walk, Stoke Newington, London, N., on September 22. It was in perfect condition, and had every appearance of having just hatched out. It was resting on a wall close to some bindweed, and it seems probable that it was bred there.
