Extract

In the Editor's “Notes on Cantharides,” published in the December No. of the Entomologist, there are some particulars in reference to Meloe angusticollis which differ somewhat from my own observations on this species, extending over a period of seven years. According to my experience, Meloes make their appearance in the perfect state about the end of August or beginning of September, when they feed greedily on Ranunculus acris. Later in the season, when the abdomens of the females are much enlarged, they pair, and later still–sometimes after the first frost–they deposit their eggs and invariably die that season.
