The RED-SPOT TUSSOCK-MOTH. The Caterpillars are very common, feeding on most Elm and Lime Trees about Town. They make a Spinning under the Copings of Walls, Pales, &c. at the End of May; and the Moth is bred at the End of June and in July. The Females have no Wings; but, if you carry one or two of them in a Box (where there is a Breed of this Moth) the Males will follow you in order to get at them: So that, if you put the Box on the Ground, you may easily take the Cocks with your Net. Several other Moths may be taken by the like Means.
