A Strange-looking Caterpillar. 



That the two strange-looking caterpillars of this insect, received 

 from New Haven, Conn., on the 27th of July, were the first of the kind 

 that had come under my notice, would indicate not very acute powers 

 of observation — unusual mimetic concealment in the larva — or that 

 the insect is not of frequent occurrence in the State of New York.
