FlQ. 5.— Tent Caterpillar (After Riley) 



roadside. When they find a satisfactory situation, beneath a 

 board, in the cracks of a fence, or between pieces of rough 

 bark, they spin an oval, silken cocoon (Fig. 6), yellow when 

 completed, within which they change, to the quiet pupa or 

 chrysalis state.
