GEOMETRA. The Amphidasis and Hybernia of some 

 entomologists is a genus of moths including G. Pilosaria, 

 Pale Brindled Beauty-Moth, which appears in March ; 

 eggs deposited in bands round a twig, as done by the 

 Lackey-Moth. Caterpillars appear with the opening 

 leaves of the elm, lime, lilac, and apple-tree. They are, 

 at first, a light green. 



Hybernia defoliaria, Lime-Looper, or Mottled Umbre- 

 Moth, feeds on the leaves of the lime and apple. Moth 

 appears in November. Caterpillar reddish, with a bright 

 yellow stripe on each side. Female moth has no wings, 

 so that a piece of stiff brown paper smeared over with 

 cart grease, and bound round a tree's stem, prevents its 

 ascent, as in the case of the Winter Moth. 



Fidonia piniaria attacks the pine and fir tribe.

Stove palms. Seed; rich, sandy loam. Summer
