THE 



LARVA AND PUPA 



OF 



Sphinx Ccnvolvuli 3 

 Bind Weed Hawk Moth, 



We have not been fo fortunate as to meet with the larva of this 

 rare Infeft ; nor can we learn that it has been taken by any Colle&ot 

 of Englifh Infe&s for many years. One fpecimen was faid to be 

 taken, in the winged ilate, in the fields near Hoxton about two years 

 ago. 



To perfect the Hiftory of this fpecies, we have copied the Figures 

 of the Caterpillar and Pupa, from N° 7. Der Nacht-Voegel, &c. &c. 

 of Roefel's InfeSlen Bellujligung, Vol. I. 



Our readers will obferve that the Fly produced from the Cater- 

 pillars reprefented by Pvoefel is nearly one-third larger than the 

 fpecimens fuppofed to be bred in England; the Caterpillars mud 

 therefore be larger in the fame proportion in the fpecimens found 

 in Germany.— The Caterpillars are of two colours, one green' with 

 firipes of yellow and fpots of black ; the other dull brown with 

 ochre coloured firipes, and fides of the fame. The Caterpillar 

 figured by Abbot has a rofe-coloured band on the fide,
