The Lackey Moth. 



The Lackey Moth, which flies in July or August, 

 is a small Inown or yellowish moth, with feathery 

 feelers. The female lays her eggs in a ciuious 

 ring-shaped mass surrounding a twig of the Apple 

 0]' other ti-ee, on which the caterpillars feed, 

 when, in the succeeding spring, they have been 

 hatched from these eggs. The caterpillars are 

 hairy and very eonspicuons, being of a blue 

 colour with black and scarlet stripes rinniing 

 Icjigthw-ise along the body. They have the habit 

 of spinning a mass of web, which serves as a 

 slielter. The pupal stage, which lasts but a short 

 time, is passed in a cocoon on the tree, or on 

 some neighbouring hedge or building. Besides 

 spraying, the practice of cutting off with shears 

 the shoots, over which the web has been spun, 

 i-; often effectual; the web (with the contained 

 caterpillars) should be caught in a pail of paraffin 

 and water. — From Leaflet 85, Department of Aijri-
