The Orange Apricock. _Malus Armeniaca, fructu aurantio._ SECT. _b_. CATERPILLARS _having_ hairy, _or_ fleshy Protuberances, _on the_ Head, Back, _or_ Tail. L. 1. CH. 1. I. CL. 3. S. _b._ 1. The LAPPIT-MOTH. The Eggs of this _Moth_ are laid about the Middle of _July_, and remain in that State fourteen Days. I fed the _Caterpillars_, when first hatch’d, with _Black Thorn_, and continued giving them the same Food till _October_; at which Time they were in their fourth Skin, and appeared as represented at Letter _a_; They there stretched themselves at full Length on the Twigs, and remained so till the _April_ following, without eating any thing that I could perceive, notwithstanding at different Times I put in fresh green Food to try them. About the End of _May_ the _Caterpillars_ are full grown, in which Condition _b_ represents the Female; they then make a Spinning, within which the _Chrysalis_ is formed, and remains in that State for one Month, when the _Moth_ is bred; though it is rarely met with in the Fly-state. The _Caterpillars_ are to be found, at the End of _May_, sticking close to the Boughs of the _Black Thorn_, _Bramble_, _&c._ You must look for them about a Foot or two from the Ground; but, as their Colour nearly resembles the Bark of their Food, it is very difficult to see them.

S. _b._ 2. The DRINKER-MOTH. Its Eggs are usually laid about the Middle of _July_; in about fourteen Days the _Caterpillars_ come out: They feed in the Winter-season on long _Grass_, _&c._ and change to _Chrysalis_ at the End of _May_ (within such a Case as is expressed in the Plate) at which Time they are easily found upon the Grass, by the Sides of Fields and Hedges. The _Moths_ are bred at the End of _June_, and may be taken flying in an Evening, in green Lanes and by the Sides of Woods. See _Lister’s Godart_. N. 82. _Albin_, Pl. 17. _Raii_ Hist. Insect. P. 142.
