This fpecies has been fuppofed to feed on grafs in the larva ftate, 
but as colle&tors have very rarely reared it from that ftate, it has 
been difficult to determine its proper food. Fabricius mentions 
lettuce and fcabious or devil’s-bit. The larva is hairy, and in many 
refpeéts very much refembles that of the Garden Tiger Moth, 
from which we may perhaps infer that it is a general feeder. 
We found the larva in May; fhortly after it fpun a web and 
paffed into the pupa ftate, from which the moth was produced the 
tith of June following.
