silken pad previously spun and is held in position by a fine thread round

The pupa which has a decided dip between the thorax and abdomen is 

 about '43 inches in length. By degrees the colour of the pupa changes and 

 just before the imago emerges it becomes dark-brownish green. One imago, 

 a male, emerged on 11th October, another male on 12th, a third male and 

 two females on 14th and a fourth male on 16th.
