An uncommon moth, Choerodes clemitaria^ A. and S., which 

 feeds in the caterpillar state upon the various plants — also eats the 

 elm. It is a Southern species, and not likely to occur here. The 

 moth is bufl'or tan color; on the wings dotted with black. The 

 larva is a light reddish, measuring worm, the body being dotted 

 with brown. 



An insect which in many respects is like the canker worm,

 shows, at least the male is, for the female, like that of the canker 



Figure 38.
