During the growth of the cater- pillar they shed their skins several times, leav- ing the exuvia within the blotch; these blotches often extend over the greater part of the leaf, and when they have eaten up all the substance, and have attained their full size, which is about three-eighths of an inch in length, they eat their way out and fall to the ground, where they undergo their transformation. The perfect in- sect appears about the beginning of August, about an eighth of an inch in length and rather more than a quarter of an inch from the points of its fore wings. It is of a shining black colour, the edge of the abdomen polished as far as the second joint. The legs and thighs testaceous and palish, tibise occasionally white at the base; the wings, with the front margin and stigma, black. " Some specimens," Mr Westwood con- jectures, " must appear in the winged state in the following spring, in order to deposit their eggs in the new raspberry leaves.
