‘There are a fort of hairy Caterpillars, which in England have ‘he 
name of Palmer Worm, becaufe they wander from place to place, like 
palmers or pilgrims; fome call them bear Worms, becaufe they are 
all over hair, and others Millers, but for what reafon is uncertain. 
Many of thefe feed on all forts of greens indifferently, though fome of _ 
them do not, 
The Palm-Tree Worm is a native of the Weft-Indian iflands, and is 
bred in the heart of a fort of palm tree, after it is cut down; they are 
as thick as a man’s finger, and about two inches long; they appear to 
be nothing but a bit of capon’s fat, covered with a fine tranfparent fkin, 
There feems to be no entrails nor guts when viewed with the naked 
eye; but with a microfeope they may be difcovered: the head is black,

the hair on the under part of the body of a fort of faffron colour, but 
that upon the upper parts is grey, three rows excepted, on the neck

this firft changes to an avrelia, and then to a Butterfly, which has been 
before defcribed, 
he black Palmer Worm, has a yellow coloured belly, and fpots of 
the fame colour on the fides. It turns to a duiky aurelia, 
The brownith yellow coloured Palmer Worm, is all over of thofe co-
