8o PLATE CCXIII. 



Fabricius fays the larva feeds on the thiftle. The rarity of this 

 creature induced us to depart from our ufual method, and copy the 

 larva and pupa from the plate in the works of Roefel, apprehending 

 it would be particularly interefting to Englifh naturalifts in general, 

 as that author alone has reprefented it in thofe ftates ; and no col- 

 lector that we are informed has met with it within the laft fifteen 

 years.
