In this Plate two _Butterflies_ are represented, the upper one of which is the _Painted Lady_. Its _Caterpillar_ feeds on the great _Stinging-Nettle_, _Thistles_, _&c._ changes to a _Chrysalis_ within the Leaves folded together in the Middle of _June_, is fourteen Days in that State, and then the _Fly_ comes forth. It may be taken on the same Growths as the last, but is not so common. Figure 4 represents, the SMALL TORTOISE-SHELL-BUTTERFLY, which is very common, and breeds twice a Year: The first Brood is towards the End of _June_, the second about the End of _August_. The _Caterpillar_ feeds on _Nettles_, is open and sociable, and may be taken full fed about the Middle of _June_, and the Middle of _August_, and is about fourteen Days in _Chrysalis_. This _Butterfly_ out-lives the Winter. See _Lister_ on _Goedart_, Pag. 7. N. 5. _Albin_, Pl. 56. Fig. 4. _Goed._ Vol. 1. Pag. 90, Fig. opt, 21. _List._ Fig. 2. _Graf._ Vol. 1. P. 89. _Mouff_, 101.

When the _Caterpillars_ of this _Fly_ are young, they feed together on the Leaves of the _Elm-Tree_, _&c._ About the Middle of _June_ they are full fed, and usually tie themselves up by the Tail under the Copings of Walls, or some such Shelter; in the Beginning of _July_ the _Fly_ comes out, and delights to settle in dry Path-ways, as also on the Bodies of Trees, _&c._ is swift in its Flight, and requires Nimbleness to take it. The _Chrysalis_ is very apt to produce _Ichneumons_ instead of its own _Butterfly_, those Creatures having laid their Eggs therein. This _Fly_ lives all Winter. See _Reaumur_, Pl. 23. Pag. 382.
