 interesting species to breed ; the construction of its cocoon is very 

 novel ; it is formed on twigs about lin. or fin. thick, in the angle of 

 a joint, on the underside ; the finishing oft' and colouring is perfect, 

 and requires a practised eye to detect it ; it is found throughout the

 same size on April 29th ; very easy to feed in a jam-jar, by sprinkling the
