Extract

To the best of the writer's knowledge, complete descriptions of the larva of this widespread species do not occur in the literature. The larva, one of the most frequently encountered grass-feeders, may be collected abundantly by sweeping lush grasslands. It is first noticed in numbers early in May. All individuals are small, having hatched from eggs laid by moths which had overwintered as pupae. By the end of May the majority have pupated, and adults appear on the wing in June. From the eggs of these developes a second generation. A third appears in August.
