The eggs, which arevery pretty (see , which shows one much magnified at a, and others ofthe natural size at 6), are attached to the stems and twigs inthe autumn, and remain in this conditionuntil spring, when they hatch about thetime the bushes are in full leaf, the larvaeattaining their full growth within threeor four weeks. When ready for theirnext change, they descend to the ground,and, having penetrated a short distanceunder the surface, change to dark-brownchrysalids about half an inch long (see 3,Fig. 357), in which condition they remain two or three weeks,or more, when the perfect insects are liberated. The moth (Fig. 359) is of a pale-yellowish color, withseveral dusky spots, which vary in size and form, being more.
