*These larvae were taken in Florida in November, 1912, and reared indoors at 
Nashville, Tennessee. They are not included in the averages. 
When fully grown the larva covers a portion of the surface of 
a leaf with silk, suspends itself with a girdle about the thorax 
and pupates in a fold of the leaf, head downward in most cases. 
The larval skin breaks along the dorsal line from the head to 
about the second abdominal segment and is worked back by the 
pupa to its caudal extremity. The pupa is clear translucent 
green, 27 mm., long and 5 mm. wide. The anterior end is drawn 
out into a conical process 3 mm. long. The tongue lies in a 
straight slender case along the ventral side. Four or five days 
before emergence the wing pads and thorax assume an opaque 
whitish color, the eyes begin to darken and finally become deep
