They are usually composed of about four hundred eggs,the mass being of a creamy white color. These eggs are de-posited in circles around the twig, and with each egg is depositeda brown varnish ; the second circle is closely fitted into the first,so the eggs stand like rows of cells in honey-comb. In thissection, the eggs are deposited in July, or the first of August,the larvje are quite fully formed by the time winter commences,,and the warm days of spring bring them into being, even beforethere are any leaves on the trees; and it is a singular fact intheir nature, that they may not only be frozen, but they actuallyexist for two or three weeks without food, standing any amount
