160 BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS 



woolly bear ceases to feed, and weaves for 

 itself a neat hammock, in which it passes the 

 quiet stage of its life called the pupal period. 

 After a short stay in this condition the moth 

 emerges in full perfection. These arrange- 

 ments are easily made, and the process can 

 be observed without difficulty. 



The Clouded Buff Moth (Nemeophila 

 russula), Plate XVII., Fig. 3, is another 

 member of the Tiger group. The male has 

 lemon-yellow forewings and yellowish-white 

 hindwings ; the female rusty yellow forewings 

 and dusky hindwings. The Wood Tiger 

 (Nemeophila plantaginis), Plate XVII., Fig. 4, 

 is a very pretty insect. The forewings are 

 black with cream-coloured markings; the 

 hindwings ochre-yellow in the male and 

 yellowish-red in the female, both having 

 black streaks and edges. It frequents open 

 glades in woods and the borders of heaths.

 (Phragmatobia fuliginosd), Plate XVII., Fig. 5. 

 It is difficult to get a good specimen except 

 by breeding it, because the scales are usually 

 removed from the wings during flight. It 

 is reddish brown, with hindwin^s rosy red,
