changes to a Chryfalis in fome Chink or other that it mects with in the Bark of the faid Tree, 
over which Chink or Hole the Caterpillar {pins a ftrong Web, which prevents any Bird or In- 
fect from getting at it in its Chryfais State. The Moth is bred in the Middle of Fuly, and 
may, now and then, be found on the Barks of the Oak Trees in Richmond and other Parks, 
about that Time; but it is not a common Fly.

HE SMALL EGGER-MOTH. Slack and White Thorn are the Food of 
the Caterpillars, which are always found in Colonies; the whole Neft of them feed- 
ing together till they are ready tochange. When they are ‘frft hatch’d from the Ege, they 
fpin a Web to fhelter themfelyes from the Weather ; and, as they grow, enlarge it with feve- 
ral Divifions. They feldom go from the Plant they are fir hatched on, till they have eaten 
it quite bare and want Food. They ordinarily {pin a Thread from their main Web to guide 
them Home again ; this is very particular, and feems neceflary to them. About the Begin- 
ning of F#dy you may find them full fed ; then they fpin a Web, within which a Cafe is form- 
ed, fhaped like an Ege, which contains the Chryfalis : In this State they remain all Winter, 
and the Moths are bred in March. It is advifeable, if you feed the Caterpillars, to take the © 
whole Neft with the Web. I have feldom taken the Moths.
