PLATE III 



When the Cecropiamoth cocoon is cut open the following parts 

 may be seen: The outer fine weatherproof network I; the coarse 

 intermediate mesh II; and the firm inner cocoon III, smoothly 

 varnished inside to form the cell for the chrysalis I V. The 

 chrysalis rests upon the fragments of the cast caterpillar 

 skin with head at the top beneath the air funnel V. Various 

 parts of the moth — the head, antennae, folded legs and wings, 

 and the segments — may be made out.
