162 CAMBERWELL BEAUTY. 



Hawk Moths, and Moths, he uses the name Grand 

 Surprise. We mention this circumstance, as it 

 appears very inconsistent, that he should make use 

 of these two names indiscriminately in the several 

 editions of both works. We still find it, in the 

 Aurelian, Camberwell Beauty, and in the other, 

 Grand Surprise ; from which it might readily be 

 inferred, that he meant two distinct insects, were it 

 not for the addition of the Linnean name, Papilio 

 antiopa. 



The English specimens differ from those of other 

 countries, in the colour of the light exterior border of 

 the wings. In the former, that part is very pale 

 straw yellow, or, in some instances, inclining to dirty 

 white. In the latter, it is of a deep yellow, marked 

 and spotted with brown. Fabricius, who notices this, 

 says they are varieties ; but this variation we consider 

 the result of local habitation alone. 



The caterpillars feed on the willow ; and are 

 generally found on the highest branches of the tree. 

 They change from this state to that of the chrysalis, 

 in July.
