The Larva of this rare and elegant Infe£t is wholly unknown to 

 Colle6lors of Britifh Infe6ls. The Moths were formerly taken at 

 the Chalk-pits, near Charton, in Kent, but either the brood has been 

 deftroyed, or the feafons fo unfavourable, that few, if any, have been, 

 feen for feveral years. The Moth comes forth in May, and, like 

 other fpecies of the fame tribe, fly very low, and always fettle on 

 the blades of grafs, with their Wings folded, fo that Colleftors can 

 readily diftinguifli them from otheir Moths,
