106 CATERPILLARS AND THEIR MOTHS 



Pandorus molted three days later, some coming out 

 green as before, with the second and third segments 

 dotted with white encircled by black, the other seg- 

 ments having these ringed dots on the sublateral and 

 stigmatal regions only, and losing them in a day or 

 two. The obliques had now the salmon tint of those 

 of the full-fed larva, and the horn was short in proj^or- 

 tion to the size of the body, and had at base in front 

 a yellow tubercle with a black circle about it and a 

 shining black central dot. The third segment was 

 very large, and the fourth decidedly larger than the 

 other abdominal segments, though not as large as the 

 third. The caterpillar could draw the head and first 

 two segments completely within the third. Other 

 larvae were brown of various shades, marked like the 

 green ones. 



Achemon also molted in three days, and showed the 

 same variety of brown and green coloring. The head 

 was plain green, or brown, round, and no longer flat. 

 The body was green, or brown, the first segment 

 dotted with white; the second and third segments 

 were covered thickly with white dots ringed with 

 black, and the other segments had similar black-ringed 

 white dots below the lateral line, and white dots above 

 it. The legs and props were green, or brown. The 

 horn was bright, deep red, almost black at the tip, 

 shorter in proportion to the body, and having at the 

 base in front a bright yellow tubercle with a black 

 circle and central dot. The obliques were long, narrow, 

 broken white ovals, with a black line around each. 



Three days later pandonis molted for the fourth 

 time. Some were green, some greenish brown, some
