The BLUE ARGUS-BUTTERFLYbreeds twice a Year: The first Brood appears inMay, the second at the End ofJulyand Beginning ofAugust. ThisFlyis very common in mostHay-Fieldsat those Times, and is easily taken. As for theCaterpillarandChrysalis, I have never yet heard that they have been discovered by any Body.

The PURPLE HIGH-FLYER, orEmperor of the Woods. Neither theCaterpillarnorChrysalisof this charmingFlyhas been yet discovered, although sought after with the utmost Diligence for several Years past. TheButterflyappears at the End ofJuneand Beginning ofJuly, and may be taken inComb-Wood inSurry, aboutWestraminKent, and in other Places. It flies like a Hawk, delighting to soar aloft and skim in the Air. When it settles it is usually on some extreme Part of theOak,Hasle, orAsh-Tree: and what is very singular, I myself have seen twenty of them taken on the same Branch one after another, for although theFlyseems to be extremely wild whilst on the Wing, yet, when settled, you may lay your Net over it with little Trouble.
