SUGARING FOR NOCTUÆ

Extract

Having been requested by the worthy Editor of this journal to contribute a few hints on sugaring for Noctuæ, I have endeavored to put together a few notes may prove servicable to those who may not have been sucessful in this method of capture. To begin with, it ought to be a golden rule never to abandon a locality, even should it yield nothing for a few nights. Often have I sugared a new locality night after night, with absolutely no results, but by presevering the moths have become attracted to the place, and, in course of time, were swarming on every tree.
