202 CATERPILLARS AND THEIR MOTHS 



edged with whitish green. The first segment seemed 

 to push forward over the head like a hood. 



The second molt came in six days for one brood, in 

 four for the other. The point on the head now proved 

 to be double, became brown, and from it a brownish 

 line extended down the back of the head, which was 

 green, granulated with yellow-white, and liad yellow 

 face-lines. The body was green, granulated with 

 yellow-white, and had yellow subdorsal and oblique 

 lines. The horn was rough and brownish, the feet 

 and props were green. 



The first brood molted again in five days, the second 

 in four. The head grew more pointed and was green, 

 with white face-lines and brown, bifurcated apex. It 

 was held bent so that the long points were in line with 

 the dorsum, thrust forward like feelers. The body was 

 green, thickly granulated with yellow-white, and had 

 two white tubercles on the anal shield. The oblique 

 and subdorsal lines were faintly yellow. The legs 

 and props were green, and the horn was brown, long, 

 slender, and depressed, so that it continued the line of 

 the dorsum in the rear, as the head did in front. The 

 general effect of the caterpillar was long and slender. 



The fourth molt followed in seven days for one 

 brood, in six for the other, and the change was marked, 

 because the head was much less pointed, though still 

 shaped like an apple-seed, with two reddish granules 

 at apex. The anal shield had a black line from the 

 point upward between the two white tubercles. The 

 spiracles were red. The body now was largest at 

 the seventh segment, tapered slightly to the anal end, 

 and tapered much to the head, which was very small
