In each case, therefore, the ova that had remained yellow 
hatched before those that assumed the orange colour. For some 
time I managed to keep the whole of the larve, but as they grew 
their prodigious appetites rendered such a proceeding impossible, 
and from time to time I set some of each lot at liberty, in order 
to give such as were retained a chance of feeding up. I was, 
therefore, unable to obtain a complete record of the imagines 
resulting from the various batches; but I have this spring reared 
a sufficient number of each to lead me to suppose that there 
would have been no difference between them, either as regards 
the proportionate number of each sex, or the robustness or 
coloration of the individuals.
