nt, and gooseberry bushes,
and also to other caterpillars.

[84] _Geometra hexapterata._--The Seraph, or Seraphim, has two little
processes like the rudiments of another pair of wings, whence
its specific name.

[85] _Noctua cerasi, &c._--These moths are remarkably neat in
appearance.

[86] _Noctua ligustri._--The Coronets are so called from their
crested thorax.

[87] _Geometra luctuaria._

[88] _Adela genus._--The Japan moths are distinguished by the length
of their antennae, which several times exceed the length of
their bodies.

[89] _Abraxas grossulariata._--The destructive caterpillar of this
moth lives in gardens, through the winter, and feeds on the buds
as they begin to open. When about to change to the chrysalis
state, they suspend themselves by the tail.

[90] _Bombyx antiqua._--The female moth is destitute of wings, and
the male is constantly seen, slowly fluttering through the
streets of London.

[91] _Noctua psi._--The Dagger is produced from a light green egg,
and is named from the mark on its wings.

[92] _Herminia rostralis._--Called Snout, from the form of the palpi,
which project over the head.

[93] _Bombyx caeruleocephala._--It owes its English name to the figure
of eight, marked in white on its brown wings.

[94] _Bombyx cassinea._--The Sprawler is found on palings, closely
adhering to the wood, and rests with its anterior feet widely
spread out.

[95] _Geometra leucophearia._--This is named Spring Usher from making
its appearance in February; it is a favourite food with
insectivorous birds.

[96] _Noctua aprica._

[97] _Tortrix gnomana._--Dial moth. It flies from side to side like
the pendulum of a clock.

[98] _Lasiocampa neustria, &c._--The caterpillars live in a common
web, and are striped with white, blue, and red, whence, by the
French naturalists, they are called _livree_. They are
polyphagus, _i. e._ they eat every thing. They lay their eggs
in close, compact rings, round the twigs of trees.

[99] _Odenensis potatoria._--The caterpillar of this moth
(according to Godart) after drinking, lifts up its head like a
hen, whence it receives its name.

[100] _Lithosia aurantia_ (orange)--_Lithosia luterella_ (yellow)
