Deilephila euphorhice, L. ; Capri. Found larvae of all sizes feeding on two 
species of Euphorbia. As I had no proper receptacle for rearing larvae, I contented (?) 
myself with four specimens, which entered the pupa state about the same time. 
In about three weeks afterwards (in June) moth No. 1 made its appearance. The 
other three did not come out for some time, and then at distant intervals, the last 
not appearing till October ! Remembering the interesting account of the larvas of 
this species in Mr. Stainton's Manual, I tried the Capri larvas with the milky juice 
of the Euphorbia, and found that they readily sucked it up ; indeed, Mrs. White 
quite made pets of these handsome caterpillars, and carried them about from one 
Euphorbia bush to another, feeding them with the euphorbiaceous milk, wliich they 
seemed to enjoy as much as kittens (not Dicranura furcula, but our fireside friends) 
enjoy cream.
