Extract

Cicindela punctulata Fab. The Cicindelas are generally regarded as diurnal, many of them appearing only during the hottest sunshine and disappearing if there comes but a cloud. In one respect punctulata is an exception, for while it flies by day like the others, it is occasionally (if not habitually) a night-flier. Several times late in summer it has been taken on my table at night, attracted by the light, and last autumn in a house in the outskirts of the city I took in this way a couple, and was told that what was considered the same insect was a frequent vistior. This habit I think is not unknown.
