The larvae are long and cylindrical, with a large head, and 

 feed on trees. The pup^ are green or testaceous, and are 

 suspended from a leaf by the tail, or attached by a thread 

 round the middle, like those of Butterflies, which they also 

 resemble in shape ; the front of the body being almost square, 

 and the extremity conical.
