" The yellow- 1 tailed moth, " Kollar observes, " is a noc- turnal lepidopterous insect, as it only flies about and propa- gates its species by night. In the day- time it sits quietly on a leaf, or on a Wall, and suffei's it- self to be caught in the hand. Its fore ^ wings are of a daz- zling whiteness, as is also the greater, part of its body; only the principal vein of the fore wing of the male is brown on the under side, and it has also some- times a few black dots on its wings. The male is distinguished from the female by its more slender abdomen, terminating almost in a point, by a smaller tuft of hair on the tail, and by its strongly pectinated antennsBjthe rays of which are yellowish brown." This moth usually appears about the beginning of July. The female, in general, lays her eggs on the under surface of the leaf, depositing them in small masses, and covering them with hair from her tail. Each mass of eggs contains from 200 to 300, and when they are deposited the female dies. About the end of July, according to Kollar, the caterpillars are hatched, when they appear of a dirty yellow, " with a black head, and a black ring round the neck. They are thickly covered with hair, and have four rows of blackish dots along the back. Of these dots, two pairs on the anterior part of the back, and two pairs on the posterior part, are larger than the rest. By these dots the young caterpillars of the yellow-tailed moth are strik- ingly distinguished from those of the hawthorn butterfly." The caterpillars of our present sub- ject, like those of the last, feed on the epidermis of the leaf, and in like manner devour them, and weave a web over themselves for protection. After devouring the leaf they first attack, they remove to the next, and construct a shelter, within w
