When the wings are ex- panded, they measure about an inch and a quarter across. Should this insect ever become troublesome, it may be sub- dued by hand-picking, or destroyed by showering the bushes with water in which hellebore or Paris-green has been mixed, in the proportion of an ounce of the former or one or two teaspoonfuls of the latter to two gallons of Fig. 326. No. 182.—The Raspberry Plume-moth. Pterophorus ? The caterpillar of this moth, an undetermined species of Pterophorus, has not in any instance been sufficiently numer- ous to be considered destructive, yet it is an interesting insect, and on this account deserves a pass- ing notice.
