butterflies and moths, and also between these species of in- 

 sects, which it is proper to point out at this place. The 

 chrysalids of butterflies are naked, that is ^ Fig. 29. 

 they are not covered with cocoons, but are 

 attached to trees, or other substances, by 

 silken cords, passing round the neck (Fig. 

 28), or are attached by the tip, and hang 

 suspended as represented by Fig. 29. They

 ground. A few are naked, and are suspended 

 by the small end. Fig. 31 represents the 

 most common form. Both forms of chrysa- 

 lids are occasionally dotted with spots exactly 

 resembling gold.
