. The book of the garden. Gardening. YELLOW-TURNTP LEAF-MINER, the upper side. When full-grown, they are pale green, and change to chestnut-coloured pupae, with two small horns at the head, and from these the flies are produced. These are ochreous, with black hairs, and two little feathered horns. The eyes are black ; there are three ochreous strips down the trunk; the six legs and two balancers are yellowish and downy; the two wings are large and irridescent. The larvae of this insect are de- stroyed by two little parasitic hymen opterous flies, the Ceraphron niger and the Microgaster virides

Ceutorhynchus pleurostigma (the turnip gall- weevil) effects the disfiguration, at least, of the turnip bulb, by " the female piercing a hole in the rind of the turnip with her proboscis, and depositing an egg in it ; and the young maggot, which is fat and whitish, often of a bright flesh- colour, lives on the substance of the bulb," caus- ing those excrescences which are so often ob- served on turnips, particularly in dry seasons. The general appearance of this insect is that of a small black seed, and, excepting in colour, it resembles the turnip-seed weevil, which latter is of a grey colour. Triphoena pronuba (the great yellow under- wing), fig. 75, in its caterpillar state, is one of. GREAT YELLOW UNDER WING MOTH, CATERPILLAR, and chrysalis.
