PLATE LXXI. 



The Caterpillars are black and foxy, or hairy ; but in a lefs degree 

 than the Caterpillars of Ph. Caja, Great Tyger Moth, which we have 

 figured in the early part of this work. 



About the latter end of April t^ie Caterpillars have attained their 

 full fize, and change into chryfalis j late in May they appear in the 

 winged ilate. 



It is by no means fo frequent as'the Great Tyger Moth, though 

 not very rare ; but it is infinitely fuperior for the happy combination 

 of its colours to it, or either of the Britifh fpecies of that tribe which 

 are trivially termed Tygers : it is already high in the efteem of col- 

 lectors; and were fpecimens of the kind lefs common, it would be in 

 great requeft among the Englifli Entomologiils. 



Frequents banks vuhich face the rifing fun.
