The Caterpillar of this Moth are ufually found on the Bramble, 
from which it has received its Englifh name; it is not, however, 
wholly confined to that food, as we have fed it on grafs and other 
Plants indifcriminately put into its breeding-cage. It paffes to the 
chryfalis ftate in September; the Fly appears in May.
