But, my dear Miss Geer, I must confess I have not this happy feminine knack of keeping out of the way of temptation. I should prefer to consult your friends, even at the risk of losing the pleasure of your society." "Oh, yes, Sir! I don't care, now it is all settled." And so, over hill-side, along wood-path, and through meadow-land, with light heart and smiling eyes, tripped Ivy back again.
De Geer saw a male that "in the midst of his preparatory caresses was seized by the object of his attentions, enveloped by her in a web and then devoured, a sight which, as he adds, filled him with horror and indignation."
For each batch of eggs the female digs a special hole, which she does not fail to fill up afterwards. This takes place in April and May. [Footnote 3: Baron Karl de Geer (1720-1778), the Swedish entomologist, author of Mémoires pour servir
