GREAT PEACOCK MOTH. 
The grrand and beautiful Moth, which we 
have accurately delineated, on a reduced scalcy 
in the annexed figure, naturally arranges itself 
in that genus of these insects, which are deno- 
minated Peacocks, on account of the varie- 
gated eye-like spot which enriches the ap» 
pearance of their wings. 
It is a native of J^h'ics.; and the original 
Moth, which was brought from Sierra Leona, 
measured rather more than eight inches, from 
tip to tip of the expanded wings. 
W e are unacquainted with it's appearance 
in either the Caterpillar or Chrysalis state ; and, 
indeed, know nothing of - it's history, even as 
a Moth. Want of such information, as to 
foreign insects in general, is almost constantly 
to be regretted !
