After each description is usually given the time of the year at 
which the caterpillar appears, its food-plant, and its manner of 
transformation; that is, whether it suspends itself, spins a cocoon, 
or enters the earth before assuming the chrysalis form. The author’s 
name is appended to each description, although the description is 
not always in his own words, as it was thought best to change 
some of the terms used in order to secure a greater uniformity in 
the descriptions, but the author’s meaning has in all cases been 
preserved.
