Prof. Riley describes the larva of this species as being of a blu-

fine black lines, with the head and a hump on the eleventh seg¬ 
ment either light coral-red or of a dark flesh color. It usually keeps 
the end of the body elevated when at rest. Enters the pupa state 
in September, the moth appearing the following April. 
Dryocampa stigma, Fabr. 
This larva is of a tawny orange-yellow color, covered with white

two yellow stripes with a black one between them in which the 
breathing pores are placed, the lower two being more regular than 
the one on the back. A row of yellow spots below and connected 
with the lowest yellow line. Venter, black with an interrupted 
yellow central line. On each segment are six shining black conical 
spines some of which are occasionally forked at the tip. On the
