In hedges not far from towns and villages, frequent. Apparently

All the species of Ribes are the favourite food of numerous insects. We sometimes see the young 
branches die without any apparent cause ; but, if closely examined, a small whitish caterpillar, with brown 
head and legs, will be found feeding on the pith ; which produces the beautiful Mgeria Tipuliformis, 
(the Currant Hawk.) Folia flavocincta, (the Large Ranunculus,) and Glcea Satellitia, (the Satellites, 
may also be found on the different species ; also. Abraxas grossulariata, (the Currant Moth.)
