  in 
  length, 
  light 
  green- 
  

   ish 
  brown,

  and 
  caudal 
  border 
  of 
  abdominal 
  segments 
  and 
  

   last

  or 
  three 
  segments 
  darker 
  brown. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  coarse 
  

   short 
  spines 
  near 
  the 
  cephalic 
  border, 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  finer 
  ones 
  along 
  the 
  

   caudal 
  border 
  of 
  the 
  dorsum 
  of 
  each 
  abdominal 
  segment, 
  and 
  eight 
  

   bristles, 
  with 
  recurved 
  tips 
  for 
  hooking 
  into 
  the 
  silken 
  cocoon, 
  occur 
  

   around 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen. 
  On 
  emergence 
  of 
  the 
  adult 
  from 
  the 
  

   cocoon 
  the 
  exuviae 
  are 
  drawn 
  about 
  halfway
