124 THE YELLOW UNDER-WING MOTH. 



is furnished with a brown oblique spot. Before 

 changing into the chrysalis state, it gathers around 

 itself a cluster of small leaves and bits of grass, where 

 it remains till its transformation. The pupa is of a 

 brownish black. 



The moth is very delicate in its appearance, and it 

 assumes the imago state in May. Fabricius says it 

 inhabits Germany.
