Fig. 9. Second stage larva. Sp. ~ spiracle. 



The earliest date that I have found this stage was the 29th May 1914, 

 the latest 29th July 1913.

Second stage larva (Fig. 9). 



This is about 1-6-1-8 mm. long, bright orange with the last two 

 segments of the abdomen dark brown. The head and legs are now 

 small compared with the much distended abdomen.
