The mode of extrication of various A ttaci from the cocoon is discussed 
by Packard & McLaren, Am. Nat. xii. pp. 379-383, 454-456. These 
moths possess a strong black spine at the base of each fore-wing, which 
Packard calls cocoon-cutters, and figures at p. 381. These are employed 
for piercing and penetrating the cocoon, by pushing aside, or perhaps 
by cutting the threads.
