In conclusion the writer can only express the hope that this limited mention of some ofthese interesting habits may not be without some result, and that those who have never hadthe pleasure of watching the many habits of lepidopterous larvae, may be led sometimes to takean interest in these creatures—the larval state of our butterflies and moths.
