As the day draws to a close and the night advances, the moths awaken, and
first one kind and then another rises on the wing. These, as they fly in
the lanes, about the borders or along the rides of woods, and over the
vegetation in meadow, {11} fen, or moor, should furnish ample employment

round of the trees upon which he has spread a dainty repast for the
night-flying Noctuidæ, and those members of the Arctiidæ and Geometridæ,
etc., that frequently look in where sweets are to be obtained.
