Some larva3 are legless or with the mere rudiments of a pair of legs on each of the three rings behind the head, fleshy, smallest at the tail, and furnished with distinct head and jaws ; such are some kinds of Beetle- and Wasp-grubs; others are strong and fat, a few inches in length, with three pairs of legs well developed—as the Cockchafer grub.*. Caterpillar of Goat Moth. The caterpillars of the Butterflies and Moths are oftenbeautifully marked, and have for the most part a pair of arti-culated feet on each of the three segments behind the head,and pairs of fleshy appendages called sucker-feet on some ofthe other segments and at the end of the tail, not exceedingsixteen in all. These sucker-feet enable the caterpillars tohold firmly to the twigs they frequent. Proceeding onwardsstill by number of feet, the caterpillars of the Sawflies will befound in almost every case (Corn Sawfly, ;i/rinueiis, excepted)to have, besides the three pairs of true feet, live, six, or sevenpairs of sucker-feet, and also the pair at the end of the tail(known as the caudal pro-leg). * For examples of different forms of htrvtc and piqxc, the student is recom-mend
