It is reported to live through winter, and to sally forth in spring to renew its devastations. The figure, after Curtis, shows the moth (No. 3), caterpillar (No. i), and chrysalis (No. 2). The caterpillar of the Noctua {mamestra) brassica (fig. 1075) is abundant everywhere, and hardly any garden produce comes amiss to it. It lives principally on cabbages and cauliflowers, and is a terrible pest to the gardener.
