CATERPILLARS _whose_ Shoulders _rise into an_ angular Figure, _having no_ Holders _behind_. L. 1. CH. 1. I. CL. 1. S. _E._ 1. The PUSS-MOTH. Though the _Caterpillar_ of this Fly seems most fond of the _Willow_, it is often found on the _Abele_, or _Poplar_ Tree. It has a Power of stretching out, and putting back its Head, at Pleasure; which it seems to do as it thinks itself more or less in Danger. It is armed with two Tubes at the End of the Tail, and two others within those, of a Blood red Colour, which it nimbly, if touched by any Thing, darts out: The Use of these is (as I apprehend) to prevent the _Ichneumon_ Flies from settling on them; but, notwithstanding those Flies are often able to remain long enough to leave their Eggs behind: In such Case, the _Moth_ is not produced, but, instead thereof, the _Ichneumon_ pictured in the Plate. Such _Caterpillars_ as the _Ichneumons_ have not fixed their Eggs on, usually go into the _Chrysalis_ State at the Beginning of _August_, on the Body of the Tree, and generally near the Ground, the _Caterpillar_ gnawing the Wood into a Kind of Sawdust; which, mixing with a glutenous Matter, or Cement, that comes from its Mouth, makes a hard Case, in which the _Chrysalis_ is formed, on the outside of the Tree; the _Moth_ appears the _May_ following. These _Moths_ are seldom taken in the Fly-state; but may easily be obtained by breeding the _Caterpillars_, which may be found at the same Time, and in the same Places, where you take those that produce the _Willow_ and _Poplar Hawks_. _Figure_ 2. in the same Plate, represents a _Moth_ called the KITTEN. The _Caterpillar_ feeds on _Black Thorn_, _Willow_, _&c._ becomes a _Chrysalis_ at the Beginning of _August_, and the _Moth_ is bred in _May_. The _Caterpillar_ and Fly are rarely to be met with.

The _Caterpillar_ feeds on the _Sweet Briar_ sometimes, but most commonly on the _Oak_; changes to a _Chrysalis_ (within the Leaves of such Trees fastened together by a Spining) at the End of _September_, and the _Moth_ is bred in the Middle of _May_. The _Caterpillar_ and Fly are both scarce. See _Albin_, P. 65. _Reaumur_, Pl. 22. Pag. 282. Vol. 2. The Wild Rose, or Sweet Briar. _Rosa sylvestris_; _foliis odoratis_. C. B. Pin.
