There are eight pairs of legs, the last pair being on the last segment of the caterpillar. As an adult, the insect is a small, grayish, night-flying moth, its wings expanding about three-fourths to one inch. The eggs are deposited on the lower leaves and stems of various plants. The larvae become full grown in about two weeks after hatching, and transform into pupae within a small, silken cocoon concealed under dead leaves or in any debris. The larva feeds naturally on certain wild plants and weeds, especially the difierent species of pig-weeds, lambs-quarter, and purslane. When the larvae are very abundant, however, they overflow into fields and gardens. Many garden vegetables suffer.
