Green Caterpillar. 1. Emerald green wool 

 spun on tying - silk, ribbed with light 

 yellow silk. 



2. Emerald green wool spun on ty ing- 

 silk, ribbed with scarlet silk. 



3. Yellowish green wool spun on tying- 

 silk, ribbed with narrow gold tinsel. 



4. Olive green wool spun on tying-silk, 

 ribbed with narrow gold tinsel. 



(I have found Nos. 1 and 2 very success- 

 ful when ribbed also with narrow gold 

 tinsel, and Nos. 3 and 4 when ribbed with 

 light yellow silk.) 



Other Caterpillars made with a reddish- 

 brown body, and ribbed with yellow or 

 red, are also sometimes very successful, 

 as are those also ribbed with red or Coch- 

 y-bondhu hackles.
