both varieties. During this, as in former years, I observe that this species 

 is nocturnal, and is a great climber. They will climb the rachis of a most 

 slender fern or spear of grass, and lie in a coil on the end of a tall frond or 

 other narrow support which may be sufficient to bear their weight at a 

 height of a foot or eighteen inches above the ground. They climb a plate 

 of glass with great ease by adhering closely to its smooth surface with their 

 moist abdomen. When disturbed on some high perch among the herbage, 

 they leap away by a siidden unbending of the coiled body, in the manner 

 of some caterpillars."
