THE EMERGENCE OF THE CATERPILLAR
“At 2:15 p. m. the larva was clearly visible through the shell. Slight bodily movements were noted, then the very large, shining black head was thrust out at a point on one side of the egg, just below the top. The entire structure rocked and swayed slowly back and forth, inclining toward the side from which the head projected.
“At 2:19 the larva emerged very slowly, head first. The head and the final segment appeared very large. The entire length was about 1.5 mm. The body yellowish red; prolegs and caudal segment lemon yellow; the head, legs and spines black. The latter bear no visible branches, and appear as stiff, black hairs, each growing out of a slight black protuberance.
“The beautiful egg-shell remains erect, the form being unchanged. There is a ragged hole in it, but it is scarcely noticeable, and appears hardly large enough for the egress of the caterpillar.”
