Behind the head on each fide, there are five blue fpecks, and others 
along the body that are red. In Augu/ they turn to a bright brown 
Aurelia, and from it in September there proceeds a no&urnal Butterfly 
or Moth, ftreaked with white, yellow, and black. 
On the common goofeberry-buth there is a Caterpillar, yellowifh or 
the fore part, and on the hinder white above, and yellow below: the 
Aurelia refembles a child in fwaddling-cloaths, which fhine with gold 
and filver. At the end of ‘une it turns to a Butterfly, whofe upper 
part is {potted with a deep yellow and brown, and the under adorned 
with black pots. ; 
On the prickly goofeberry-bufh there is a brown Caterpillar, in April, 
ftreaked with black, and fpotted with white. In June it {pins an oval 
cod, of a dark yellow, and turns to a brown aurelia; and the Moth 
that proceeds from it has a white fpot on each wing: there is another 
green Caterpillar on the fame plant, that fticks fo elofe to the leavesy 
that it cannot be taken off without hurting it. In May it turns to a 
brown aurelia, and fourteen days afterwards to a white and brown 
Butterfly, with feveral {pots. 
The red goofeberry-buth feeds a fort of grey Caterpillar, which in 
December changes to a chefnut-coloured aurelia, and in February to a 
white Moth, ftreaked with black, and that lays greenith eggs. 
Albin mentions a whitifh-yellow Caierpillar variegated with black and. 
ted fpots, that hides itfelt in the ground, where it changes to a red aus 
relia, and becomes a noéturnal black and white Butterfly, mixed with 
yellow. This Caterpillar has been found on the goofeberry-buth, and 
is called by Ray the middle-fized Phalana, with large wings, marked.

Merian takes notice of the Caterpillar that feeds on the red goofebers 
ry buth, which differs from others, in not having the feet in the mids 
dle of the body, but at the extremity. It changes to an aurelia the 
firtt of April, and turns to a fine Butterfly the latter end of Funes but 
it is too weak to live long. Goedard fays he has met with one that 
turns to a grey Flie, and lives but four days, and there is another that 
becomes a black and yellow Flie. 
Goedard has obferved another on this bufh, that feeds on fmall in 
fe&s; that run about its body; it turned to an aurelia the ninth of 
Fune, and on the thirtieth it became a Flic. 
The guava Caierpillar of Surinam, is green, with fix white ftreaks 
on each fide, and a black round fpot on each joint. On the hindet 
part it had a red horn, and became a nocturnal Butterfly, with afh= 
coloured wings, marbled with white and black. The-body was marked 
with ten orange-coloured {pots, and on the head there was a long red 
trunk, which it made ufe of for the fucking of flowers. There are + 
ther Caterpillars on the fame tree, that are covered with hair, on fome 
white, and on others red. Thcy are all venomous, and when touched, 
they caufe a fwelling, with pain. They have four feet, and turn to
