the upper wings, which are fpotted towards the tips with 
white ; while the lower wings are black, with a deep 
border of carmine colour, marked by a row of fmall 
black fpots ; the under furface of the wings alfo prefents 
a moll beautiful mixture of colours ; the caterpillar is 
brown and lpiny, feeds on nettles, and changes into a 
chryfalis in July, the fly appearing in Auguft.” See

213. Papilio Urticte : wings angular, fulvous fpotted 
with black ; upper pair with three black dots, the inner 
one fquare. It inhabits this country, and has been de- 
fcribed and figured by Donovan and Lewin. The larva 
is fpinous, varied with brown and green, head black ; 
pupa toothed, brown with gold dots. This infeCt and 
many others of the fame genus, as the Atalanta, Poly- 
chloris, Io, &c. foon after their enlargement front the 
chryfalis ftate, difcharge a few drops of reddifh-coloured 
fluid, which, in places where they have appeared in large 
numbers, has had the appearance of a fliower of blood, 
and, having of courfe been greatly magnified, the faft has 
been recorded by writers as a prodigy ominous of fome 
extraordinary event. See fig. 30.

of the Celtis Auftralis, or European nettle-tree. Three 
different fizes and ages of the caterpillar are noticed and 
figured by Fuefsly. At every change their colours alter. 
Pafling to the chryfalis ftate, they hang themfelves per¬ 
pendicularly from a leaf; in this ftate they were firft 
green, afterwards darker, which announced the approach¬ 
ing birth of the butterfly : the wings, within an hour of

ty-eight filvery fpots. This is an Englilh infect; and 
has been called the great pearl-hutterfty, but Fuefsly afcer- 
tained that the female only can claim that name: “Large 
veins fpread upon the upper furface of the upper wings, 
and the want of a line of filvery fpots at the lower part 
of the under wings,” are the peculiar characters of the 
male. When the worm or caterpillar has attained the 
full fize, it pafles into chryfalis ftate. It has been gene¬ 
rally called the violst-worm. but it is now faid to inhabit
