Macrosila Carolina, Linn. The Tobacco-w r orm. 
The general color of this worm is dark green, and the body is 
wrinkled transversely; it is paler on the back and marked on the 
sides with oblique white stripes and whitish dots. The stripes are 
edged above with bluish and short transverse black bands. Stig¬ 
mata black with a yellow point above ad below, except the first 
and last, which are orange-yellow with a black central point; all 
are edged with blue. The terminal horn is tipped with rust color. 
When full grown it is from three to five inches long, and descends 
into the ground where it changes into a mahogany-brown chrysalis, 
two inches and a quarter in length, with a tongue case three-quar¬ 
ters of an inch long, standing out on one side like the handle of a 
pitcher. The early brood of these worms that transform into chysa- 
lides in July, come out as moths in a little more than three weeks, 
but the late ones pass the winter in the chrysalis state.
