S2 PLATE CCXIV. 



This fpecies has been fuppofed to feed on grafs in the larva ftate. 

 but as colleaors have very rarely reared it irom that Hate, it has 

 been difficult to determine its proper food. Fabncius mentions 

 lettuce and fcabious or devil's-bit. The larva is hairy, and in many 

 refpeas very much refembles that of the Garden Tiger Moth, 

 from which we may perhaps infer that it is what colleaors ufually 

 term a general feeder. 



We found the larva in May; mortly after it fpun a web and 

 paffed into the pupa ftate, from which the moth was produced the 

 11th of June following.
