282 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY 



red. The costa has, as it were, a piece taken out of the middle, 

 and the tips are hooked. There are small brown and white 

 spots distinctly defined, and these give the wings a mottled 

 appearance, and sometimes the dark spots run into faint bands. 

 The borders of the wings are pale brick-red. The hind-wings 

 are uniform white, slightly dusted with reddish in parts. 



This insect is very variable, but may always be recognised 

 by its peculiar shape. The green larva feeds on different kinds 

 of willow.
