Wilkes* Eng. Moths, pi. 43. Spilosoma Lubricepeda, Stephens, Curtis. Upper Side. The antennae are pectinated and black. The thorax is cream colour, spotted with black: the abdomen is orange, spotted with black. The superior wings are also of a cream colour, having a row of black spots reaching from the middle of the slip edge to the apex of the wing; besides a number of other small ones dispersed over the same. The inferior wings are of the same colour, but have not so many black spots. The female is seen at (K)> and the male at (J) ; the latter is known from the female by the broadness of its antennae. The caterpillar feeds on various plants in gardens, particularly the Jerusalem artichoke. They become full fed, as at (h), about the middle of August, when they change to a black chry- salis, seen at (i), within a spinning; and the moths appear in May following. They are very common, and are found sitting against pales, walls, &c.
