Butterfly came forth, reprefcnted in this Tabic • Ano- 
ther of the fame fpecies, changed the 17*- of Decemhir 
and remained a Chf^falp^ till the 15'^* of May the Year 
following i when a Butterfly came forth i thcyery fame 
with the former. 
But another Year it happened, that I obftrved in the 
fame Catterptllats a wondcrfull thing, I tookc a cer- 
tain number of thefe Catcerpillars, at the fame time • I 
fed them untill they of their own accord left tlieir meat, 
and bi-took themfclves toreft.and for generation : after 
they had lain hill 4 daycs,anJ did not move, I faiv break 
forth of the Skins of each Cattcrpillar, on both fides the 
Animall 40. in fomc, 50. infomeSS little Wormes, 
which Wormes as loon as borne, made themfelves little 
Notts : ( or Biggs ) of yellow Silk, beginning from the 
Tailc to the Head, and fhut themfelves up in thole 
Notts in thofe Baggs they defend themfeives from the 
told of Winter. 
The Cattcrpillar(out of whofc Skin ! faid thofe W orms 
came ) knit ail their little Netts together on a bunch 
tha; they migi,t not be fcattcred, but that they might 
be turned into Flyes in Summer, in one place, and at, 
once.Ti e Cattcrpillar notwithltanding-alJ thefe wounds, 
out of which 40, or 50 Wormes 'did break forth, 
lived without Food in my GlolTct from the 
itmier-, untill the aS'’’* of the fame ^4o^tb. the ip'*’- of 
O^.of>ey the above deferibed Worms turned into i& 
many little Flyes, and all of them dyed within 6 Dayes. 
Another Cattcrpillar of the fame Species after its 
Change, and that it hadlaine in it 14 Dayes, 2 Worms 
hreke outof the forehead of it, and thole two Wormes 
i/i rny light in the fpace of an hour and a haife, n^cre 
changed into Eggs of an Amber colour ; and Daves- 
a'tcr that, cait of each Egge came a middle fifed 
Fly.. 
Thefe things I have had the experience of, and have 
Obferved them, noi without admiration , bccaufe it
