HE GREAT TYGER MOTH. The Caterpillars are hatch’d from 
the Ege in Auguft, and feed in their infant State on Nettles, Lettice, €c. till the 
End of Oéfober ; when, if the Weather be cold and bad, they find themfelves a 
Refidence for the Winter s Holes and private Receffes, where they continue till the March 
or April following, as the Spring is more or lefs forward. At their coming out of their Holes 
they feed on the young Nettles, Chickweed, Sc. that grows in dry Ditches and Gardens ; and, 
when they are in their laft Skin, which is ufually at the End of May, they may eafily be 
found in the Places already mentioned. At the Beginning of Fume they {pin a Bag, and within 
that change to the Chry/ahs, in which State they lye for one Month, after which the Moths 
come abroad and are very common. I have obferved, that moft of the hairy Caterpillars live 
throughout the Winter, after the Manner above mentioned.
