ORGYI'A ANTTQUA. Vapourer Moth. The cater- 

 pillars of this moth feed on the leaves of cherries, pears, 

 hawthorn, roses, and many other trees belonging to the 

 rose family, and are exceedingly destructive, defoliating 

 the trees when present in large numbers. The singular- 

 looking caterpillar may readily be recognised by the 

 brushes of long hairs, extending forwards and backwards 

 on its back, recalling the hop-dog, but smaller. The male 

 is a small reddish-brown moth, with a white spot near 

 the hinder angle of each fore-wing, and may often, even 

 in the streets of London, be seen flitting about in a 

 desultory manner looking at brightly coloured flowers. 

 The female has only rudimentary wings. The conspicu- 

 ous caterpillars may readily be hand-picked. Spraying 

 with arsenate of lead is also a sure remedy. The yellowish 

 cocoons may be found attached to a great variety of 

 plants in the garden during winter, and, as they are 

 usually covered with woolly matter and a mass of eggs, 

 they should be collected and burnt.
