HE WILD ARRACH MO TH, Mr. Rofel fays, The Caterpillar feeds on 
the Wirp Arracn; that it changes to a Chryfalis, within the Earth, in September, 
and that the Moth appears at the End of May following. I once took fome of thefe Caterpillars 
feeding on the Arrach in September, but had not the good Fortune to breed any Flies from 
them. See Rofé/, Cl. 2. Tab. 32.

5 Bee ANGLE-SHADES, a Moth. It is ad 
vifable to look for the Caterpillar 
of this Fly on Nettles, altho’ fome fee 
don Fruit Trees, Bramble Buthes, &c. It goes 
into the Chry/alis State at the End of Sune, ina Web mixed with Earth, which it forms upon 
the Ground ; and thus it remains till the Beginning of September, when the Moth is produced: . 
There is an early Breed of this Moth in May, but, as I have not had the Caterpillar in the 
Spring, I cannot relate its Progreffion. The Fly may be taken in the Evenings, in Gardens, 
feeding on the Flowers; but I havenot met with them very frequent. -
