How Scouts Can Raise
the Big-Winged Moths
Dy G. W. J. CAIIU
A pleasure that may be enjoyed by all
lovers of nature, yet one about which
very little is known, la the raising of
the beautiful night moths. In my own
small way 1 have been ory successful
with them, yet can 1 call It "In n small
way" when 1 have miles of beautiful
woods nnd llelds from which lo gather
my harvest of cocoons. On crosa coun
try walks I have counted nnd Inspected
sometimes ns many ns two hundred co
coons, so there need bo no fenr that your
section of the country will not yield a
few speclrfl.
WHERE TO LOOK FOR THEM
Promethea nnd cccropla moths seem to
bo the most numerous in our section, nnd
fiom Information I have gathered from
nature seekers In other States, these two
species seem to bo the moat abundant,
Tho promethea cocoons hang from
smnll branches by a strong silk band,
making It a fortress against tho winds
nni! storma ilurlnic the winter months.
These cccoons may bo found on amall
bushes nnd trees, n few of them being
thn nnlco bush, sassafras nnd wild
cherry. These three usually aro their
most fovorlte food, but I have found them
on sumach, button bush, alder and tho
tulip treo and would not be surprised to
Unci them on any kind of a buah, tree or
vine.
After you have gathered a few of these
cocoons, wntch for those of the cccropla;
theso you will nnd nttnehed to brnnches,
tree trunks, old wooden fcnccH and many
other curious places. These cocivns aro
easily distinguished. In Most Instances,
as they uro from two to four Inches In
length, very baggy nnd ntluched lcngth
wlso to the brnnches. Sonn cocoons you
wilt And beneath tho trees upon which
the caterpillars feed, such as the luna
and polyphemus, both beautiful moths
and well worth looking for.
All cocoons should be tested to insure
against parasites. This may ho dono
by removing the cocoon with a small por
tion of the branch. A good chrysttlld will
be heavy. If thcro is a rattling, llko
small seed, such a cocoon is no good
and should bo destroyed.
Now Is tho time to gather cocoons, be
fore tho leaves appear, for after that
they are not so easily found.
(To be continued Friday.)
