form another retreat. In order to
fashion this home, the weaver
weakens the Inidrib at the base by
biting almost through it, then cut
ting hole in the blade of the leaf
at the base, causing the margins
to droop so they may be fastened
together with silk thread. In this
tent, hanging down from the stem
of the leaf, the worker will find
shelter close to the green tissue. A
second skin is cast in this home,
and a third home is as cleverly pro-

RED ADMIRAL.
(YdneSsa dtdlnntd !

The partnership established be-
tween the nettle and the red ad-
miral is highly successful. Man has
no special fondness for this weed,
but it has been on earth since civili-
zation began. Weed and insect are
world travellers. From the middle
of May, one may see the red admiral
in open fields and along sunny
highways, fitting from flower to
flower. There is an occasional visit
on the green leaves. This is the
time she is leaving her eggs, and
one may find them glued to the leaf
she has recently left. AS a rule,
one or few eggs are allotted to
each leaf.
One week later, the larva pushes

late in August or September. Some
will remain in the chrysalis stage
unchanged throughout the winter,
maturing in May, when the nettle

Red admirals are snowy butter

forewing obliquely. The outer tips
show white spots in the notch. The
