It is impor- tant also to avoid throwing a shadow over them, and it is a good plan to get to windward of them anything like flurry will be fatal to success. Moths which fly by day may be chased in the BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS. 51 same manner, but some may be observed disporting themselves round trees ; these must be watched, and netted as they now and then descend. Others fly at a very low altitude, and are only brought into the field of vision by our assumption of the recumbent position. At night... again, though we watch for any- thing stirring the air, among the trees or the herbage, our tactics are somewhat modified ; for, if the insect be of whitish colour, we should so place ourselves that its form will stand boldly out against a mass of dark foliage, whereas, if it be dingy in hue, we must iake the sky for our background. Disturbing insects, and thus causing them to start forth, and so render themselves visible, is another method of collecting. This is carried out in various ways. First, the occupants of high trees may be expelled by jarring the trunk with a heavily loaded mallet, or by thwacking the trunk with a long hazel stick ; but a sharp look-out must be kept, for some sham death, and fall plump down, while others make off as fast as they can.
