WELL is it for the entomologist that his is "untaxed and
undisputed game." He wants no "license" to saunter harmlessly
in quest of the trophies of his skill, through the winding lanes
of his native country, and the green pathways that labyrinth
her woods. Sometimes, indeed, some stupid churl is fain to
exert, and probably to overstrain, his deputed authority, but
for the most part, the land is as free as the air to the peaceful
insect hunter.
The Wood White is a very pretty object, floating lightly
in the glades of the wood, in a slow and undulating manner.
It appears, according to some accounts, to be double-brooded,
the first appearing at the end of May, and the second in
August.
I have once taken this interesting insect, in the year 1837,
in Sandal Beat, near Doncaster, Yorkshire, and repeatedly in the
Ran-Dan woods, a most excellent locality for many good species,
near Broomsgrove, Worcestershire. It occurs also in the following
localities:—-Barnwell and Ashton Wold, and the neighbourhood
of Polcbrook, Northamptonshire; rarely near Great Bedwyn
