HE LAPPIT-MOTH. The Eggs of this Moth are laid about the Middle 
of Fuly, and remain in that State fourteen Days. I fed the Caterpillars, when firft 
hatch’d, with Black Thorn, and continued giving them the fame Food till Odtober ; 
at which Time they were in their fourth Skin, and appeared as reprefented at Letter a: They 
there ftretched themfelyes at full Length on the Twigs, and remained fo till the April follow- 
Ing, without eating any thing that I could perceive, notwithftanding at different Times I put 
in frefh green Food to try them. About the End of May the Caterpillars are fall grown, in 
which Condition 4 reprefents the Female ; they then make a Spinning, within which the Chry= 
falis is formed, and remains in that State for one Month, when the Moth is bred ; though it is 
rarely met with in the Fly-ftate. The Caterpillars are to be found, at the End of May, 
flicking clofe to the Boughs of the Black Thorn, Bramble, ‘6c. You muft look for them about 
a Foot or two from the Ground; but, as their Colour nearly refembles the Bark of their 
Food, it is very difficult to fee them.
