THE SYCAMORE TUSSOCK-MOTH. You may find the Caterpillars on Sycamore Trees, and, towards the End of August, they are usually full fed; at which Time they spin themselves up, intermixing their Hairs with the Web, and change into the Chrysalis State. The Moths are bred in May and June, are not uncommon, and may be found on the Bodies of the Trees in St. James’s Park, on Pales, Walls, &c.
