DIALOGUE II. 
CATERPILLAR, PUPA, CHRYSALIS, 
. AURELIA. 
LUCY. My lessons are over, and I 
hope, mamma, you will now tell me 
about all the caterpillars and moths. 
Mother. That would take a very long 
time indeed, and would besides require 
more attention and more memory than 
you are quite aware of. We shall there- 
fore begin with the earliest part of the 
history of a caterpillar. Do you re- 
member the hairy caterpillar you lately 
found creeping on the gravel walk ? 
Lucy. Oh yes ; we looked at it in 
Fanny's microscope ; and we saw its 
tufts of hair, which appeared so large ; 
and its pretty brown and orange skin, 
that looked so bright between the tufts.
