134 CATERPILLARS AND THEIR MOTHS 



more mottled and less streaked. The moths fly at 

 dusk and later, and may be caught near honeysuckles, 

 phlox, lilies, and electric lights. They have great 

 strength of wing-muscles and a quick, powerful flight. 

 Their tongues are very long. The male's antennae are 

 biciliate, while the female's are simple. In some 

 places they are double-brooded, but we have not found 

 any June brood in spite of all our searching. With 

 us, in Massachusetts and Vermont, both caroUna and 

 celeus moths have been found from July till late Sep- 

 tember, and the eggs or caterpillars from late July 

 until the very end of October, without the interval 

 there would be if there were two broods. Occasionally 

 a moth has emerged from our pupae in November or 

 December, but too late for another brood.
