FWAHHE POPLAR HAWK MOTH. The Caterpillar of this Afoth feeds on 
the Leaves of the Poplar Tree, as alfo on the Willow , and is to be found at the fame 
Times and Places as the Willow-Hawk Caterpillar. It becomes a Chryfalis in the Ground in 
September, and the Moth appears in May. It is to be found in the Chry/alis and Fly-ftate 
as the before mentioned. All the Hawk-tribe fly very fwiftly, and Iam inclined to believe 
feed in wet marfhy Places, by reafon I have never taken them on the Wing in Places where I 
have always met with Plenty of other Moths.

May: At which Time the Moth is bred; but very feldom taken in the Fly-ftate. Mr. 4/-

ing: For, feeding commonly in or near the Water, if at any time it happens to fall in, it 
~ turns itfelfon its Back, and fwims, with its Head and Tail turned together, till it gets 
hold on fome Part of the Plant, by which it helps itfelf up again. It lies in the Egg- 
ftate about nine Days. | |
