The BLACK TUSSOCK-MOTH. This Moth is bred about the Middle of June; at which Time it lays Eggs of a light grey Colour, inclosed within a woolly Substance; and thus they continue for about one Month. When the infant Caterpillars appear, they feed on Black Thorn, White Thorn, Bramble, &c. They live all the Winter in the Caterpillar State, and change to a hairy Chrysalis, within a Spinning, about the Middle of May. The Caterpillars may be found, full fed, on Black Thorn that grows by the Sides of Woods and Hedges; as for the Moth, it is not commonly taken in the Fly-state.
