This is very notable in thefe CatterpilJars, that where 
the back of the Cattetpillar was, there are the belly and 
feet of that Animal it’s changed into ; and the con« 
trary, where the belly and feet of the Catterpillar were, 
there novv the back of that Animal is, which was pro- 
duced by the change of the Catterpillar. And this 
change is produced in a very ftiort time ; fo that it may 
diftindly be feen and obferved : For as foon as the old 
skin is layed afide, this Transfiguration raanifeftly ap- 
pcarcs. 
The Catterpillar of Number 3 . Began to change the 
21 ft- ofJ«»eand the 30*^ day of thelatne Monih^ttwas 
changed into a very fair Butterfly, which I have- alfo 
cxadly dclinated Numher^ 2. 
Immediatly after the changcjits wings were like moift 
Paper, but inhalfea quarter of an hower they dryed, 
were expended and made fit for Flight, 
Afterwards the Butterfly let fall from his Taile four 
dropps of blood ; and after halfe an hower one drop 
of cleer liquor, like Fountain Water. 
It lived a Butterfly 19 dayes without food. 
Anochsr Catterpiller of the fame Species compofed 
it felfe for Change the i3*-of and that change 
being come to perfedlion. there broke out of the Back, 
, ( of the Catterpillar ) 82 Flyes, as in Numkr 3. So 
that out of one and the fame species of Catterpillars, 
a Butter fly is produced, and Sa Flyes. 
Note, / believe the -duthor was mftaken in his 
Ohfervatmof the Back of the Catterpillar being the Belly 
Butterfly^ and the Chrifolis might well enough I conceive 
torn its tody within a dryland locfe skin-fa the aB of through* 
ing it off, and caufe this tnifiake | efpe 'tally, when it mas ft
