resembling the female in coloring, and in having the wings 
speckled. The larva differs from the other species of Ani- 
sota in having long spines on the dorsal aspect of the third 
thoracic and each abdominal segment in addition to the 
much longer spines on the mesothorax. It is of a bright 
tawny or orange color, with a dusky stripe along its back 
and dusky bands along its sides. 
The Rosy Dryocampa, Dryocampa rubicunda (Dry-o- 
cnm'pa ru-bi-cun'da).—The wings of this moth (Fig. 428) 
are pale yellow, banded 
with rose-color. The dis¬ 
tribution of the color varies 
greatly in different speci¬ 
mens. In some the pink 
of the fore wings predomi¬ 
nates, the yellow being re¬ 
duced to a broad discal 
band, while in one variety 
the ground-color is yellowish white and the pink is reduced 
to a shade at the base and a narrow stripe outside the mid¬ 
dle. The hind wings may be entirely yellow, or may have a 
pink band outside the middle. The expanse of wings in 
the male is one and one half to one and three fourths inches; 
in the female, two inches or more. 
The larva of this species is known as the Green-striped 
Maple-worm, and is sometimes a serious pest on soft-maple 
shade-trees. It measures when full grown about one and 
one half inches. It is pale yellowish green, striped above 
with eight very light, yellowish-green lines, alternating with 
seven of a darker green, inclining to black. There are two 
prominent horns on the second thoracic segment, and two 
rows of spines on each side of the body, one above and one 
below the spiracles. And on the eighth and ninth abdomi¬ 
nal segments there are four prominent dorsal spines. The 
species is one- or two-brooded, and winters in the pupa 
state.
