95. Phalasna pronuba : lower wings t.eftaceous, with a 
black nearly-marginal band. Fig. 46. 
d. Wings deflected ; thorax fmooth. 
96. Phalasna ficus: wings cinereous, with white veins, 
the bate fpotted with fulvous white and black. It is found 
in India, on the Ficus racemofa. 
97. Phalasna arundinis: wings cinereous, with black 
dots and marginal lunules, beneath it is marked with a 
central brown fpot. It is found in the dalks of the com¬ 
mon reed, and is laid tooccafion the daggers in horfes, 
98. Phalaena trapezina : wings whitilh, with a very 
broad deeper band, in which is a black dot; the margin 
is dotted with black. The larva is greenifh, with cine¬ 
reous, white and fulphur-coloured lines; it preys on the 
larva of other moths, and even on its own fpecies. 
99. Phalaena monilis : wings chefnut-brown, with four 
approximate white dots; the antennae pedfinate. 
100. Phalasna gracilis : wings brown-cinereous, with 
a brown and waved dreak at the bafe, and a yellowilh 
one at the tip, with a pundlured one between them. The 
larva is naked, greenifh, with yellowidi fides ; the inci- 
fures are yellow, each fegment.with fourdulky fpots, and 
a black one before. It is an American in left.

lique ferruginous Freaks.

two green gold bands, and a yellowilh marginal one. 
104. Phalaena feducas: upper wings varied with yellow 
and brown, with three filvery-gilt fpots; the lower ones 
pale brown. 
105. Phalaena artemifeae, the owl-moth ; upper wings 
green, with fcattered filvery fpots. It is found only on 
the Artemifia fylveftris, or wild artemifia, never on the 
garden kinds, and only on fandy hills. But the fame 
plant feeds feveral other caterpillars, efpecially that of the 
Phalaena abrotani (Fabr.) which when young can hardly 
be didinguifhed from this. The prefent fpecies feedsonly 
on the buds of the flowers, and thecapfuies of the feeds. 
As there are none of thefe when the phalaena lays her 
eggs, die fadens them to the edge of the fmall leaves, 
fometimes apart, fometimes two or three together. Thefe 
are hatched in about a fortnight; but the caterpillars in 
their growth alfume fo much the colours, attitude, and 
form, of the little branches, buds, and flowers, they ad¬ 
here to, that it requires a very nice eye to difcern them : 
they keep commonly on the top of the brandies, and hold 
fo fad that neither wind nor (haking can diflodge them. 
The caterpillar, through all its changes, which are very 
rapid, retains the fame colours ; in five or fix weeks, that 
is, in September, it is ready to go into the chryfalis date; 
it is then about an inch long. Towards the end of Sep¬ 
tember this caterpillar digs into the ground to undergo 
its metamorphofis; it makes an oval fliell of bits of earth 
glued together, but lined with filk, and very fmooth 
within. The chryfalis is of a browniflt green, and lhi- 
ning ; the rings are darker, the fligmala or fpots entirely 
brown. When the moth is ready to come forth, the chry¬ 
falis aflumes a dark-brown colour, and the filvery fpots of 
the wings already appear through their covering. At the 
end of June or in July this beautiful moth comes forth. 
106. Phalaena 00: wings bud'-colour with darkerflreaks 
and fpots, and marked in the middle with a double o.

ilh, with a white lunule. Fig. 50.

grey; with two ftreaked darker bands, and two interme¬ 
diate fnowy dots. See fig. 53, 54.
