Pagina 167 - Xanthia aurago and Polia chi have been examined from time to time up to the middle of January ; and so far — with one exception only — nothing but the faintest traces of the future larvae have been detected by microscopic examination of their still fluid contents. At the last examination — about January 14th — the larva of X. aurago was found partially developed, but not to such a degree that it could be extracted from the shell in the larval form. So far, therefore, the guess formed by Dr....
Pagina 210 - Hampshire (Photimis?) is perfectly continuous, without trace of lines either bright or dark. It extends from a little above Fraunhofer's line C, in the scarlet, to about F in the blue, gradually fading out at the extremities. It...
Pagina 85 - Future Meetings of the Society. The President announced that there would not be any Meeting of the Society in October, and that the future Meetings would, by permission, be held in the Rooms of the Linnean Society, in Burlington House, Piccadilly. November 5, 1 860.
Pagina 18 - The insect world; being a popular account of the orders of insects, together with a description of the habits and economy of some of the most interesting species.
Pagina 109 - Ohrysis larva had eaten all the store, and was full-fed. I obtained evidence, by finding the exuviae, of its having cast its skin three times, whilst under observation ; and, from the analogy of C. bidentata, I believe it had done so four times altogether. The stored larvae had all been eaten, their heads alone remaining, just as when eaten by the wasp grub. The larva then spun a cocoon, which I know to be typical of O.
Pagina 109 - On July 17th, I observed a nest of O. parietum with one cell open and containing a nearly complete supply of Lepidopterous larvae. A Chrysis ignita, flying about, settled beside the cell ; and, after a brief examination with her antennae, wheeled round, and, introducing her abdomen into the cell, rested for about twenty seconds, doubtless in the act of oviposition. I now regret that I did not then examine the contents of the cell, in order to ascertain the fate of the egg of O.
Pagina 112 - The young larva of O. bidentata seizes that of 0. spinipes with its jaws, pinching up a fold of skin, and contrives to extract fluid nutriment from it, without, apparently, making any aperture in the skin, until it approaches to mature growth itself. I have very carefully examined larvae of 0. spinipes that were thus half sucked away (I cannot say eaten), and I could find no mark at the spot whence I had just removed a larva of Chrysis. I have several times squeezed the Odynerus larva firmly, without...
Pagina 178 - Council had determined to offer Two Prizes, of the value of Five Guineas each, to be awarded to the Authors of Essays or Memoirs, of sufficient merit, and drawn up from personal observation, on the anatomy, economy, or habits of any insect or group of insects which is in any way especially serviceable or obnoxious to mankind.
Pagina 95 - S. pruni, I have observed burrows less than an inch long, some of which, containing a few eggs already laid, had been abandoned uncompleted by the beetles, apparently on account of the presence of a fluid which must have been sap, as no rain had fallen to account for it...
Pagina 120 - ... a rather deep purplish red-brown, without gloss, and a little paler on the thoracic segments and at the divisions ; the sides below the spiracles, the belly, and the legs were paler, and of a dingy flesh colour : the head ochreous-brown, and mandibles blackishbrown ; a polished pale ochreous-brown semi-circular plate on the second segment, rather broadly margined in front with blackish-brown; a small shining pale ochreous plate on the anal tip, having a terminal border of very small dark brown...
