CATERPILLAR. Scorpiu'rus. 



CATERPILLAR. This is the young of 

 either the butterfly or the moth, in its 

 first state after emerging from the egg. 

 There are many kinds; and the hest 

 mode of preventing their invasions is to 

 destroy every butterfly, moth, chrysalis, 

 and egg that can be found. Hand-pick- 

 ing, dusting with lime or soot, and other 

 modes of destroying the caterpillar are 

 mentioned when noticing the plants they 

 attack; but we may here observe that 

 the powder of White Hellebore is by far 

 the most effectual for dusting over this 

 marauder. Sparrows and other small 

 birds, in early spring, should not be 

 scared from the garden, for they destroy 

 myriads of caterpillars : at that season 

 they can do no harm if the gardener 

 properly guards his seed-beds. Boys 

 paid a halfpenny per dozen for leaves 

 havings eggs or smaller'caterpillars upon 

 them, have been found to keep a garden 

 free for a whole season for about seven 

 shillings.
