70 PLATE CXXXR^ 



This fpecies feeds on nettles, chickweed, plantain, grafs, &c. 

 The Caterpillars very much refemble thofe of the large Garden Tiger 

 Moth*, except in (ize ; they change into chryfalis about the middle 

 of April, and appear In the winged ftate the latter end of May. 



We have not found this Infe6l fo plenty as the Ruby Tiger Moth t, 

 and it is infinitely more fcarce than the great Garden Tiger Moth, 

 'figured in the early part of this Work. 



A variety of this fpecies, w^Ith crimfon under wings, is found in 

 the Eaft Indies and in America. The under wings of the female, 

 in the European fpecimens, are much redder than in the male.
