. Langstroth on the hive & honey bee. Bees. 490 ENEMIES OP BEES. In its adult state it is a winged motli, or miller, measuring, from the head to the tip of the closed wings, from five-eighths to three-quarters of an inch in length, and its wings expand from one inch and one-tenth to one inch and four tenths. The fore-wings shut together flatly on the top of the back, slope steeply down- wards at the sides, and are turned up at the end somewhat like the tail of a fowl. The female is much larger than the male, and much darker-colored. There are two broods of these insects in the course of the year.* Some winged moths of the first brood begin to appear towards the end of April or early in May—earlier or later, according to climate and season. Those of the second brood are more abundant in August; but some may be found between these periods, and even much later." No writer with whom we are acquainted has given such an exact description of the differences between the sexes, that they can always be readily distinguished. The wood-cuts of the moths, larvse, and cocoons, which we present to our readers, were drawn from nature, by Mr. M. M. Tidd, of Boston, Mass., and engraved by Mr. D. T. Smith, of the same city.

These insects are seldom seen on the wing, unless started from their lurking places about the hives, until to- wards dark. On cloudy days, however, the female may be. • Prof. Cook is of opinion (Guide, page 315) that there may be three . broods in a year and we believe he is correct. We have seen them most numerous in hot Octob
