[47] Porrectaria grandipennis.
[48] Noctua meticulosa.—The chrysalis of the Angle-shades is of a deep red colour, with two sharp points at the tail. The caterpillar is of a fine transparent green.
[49] Laria genus.—The Tussock feeds on white thorn, and is the hop-dog of the hop-gatherers in Kent.
[50] Gastropacha quercifolia.—The caterpillar of this moth also lives through the winter, a fact recently discovered by Mr. Samouelle, from whose obliging communications many of these notes have been derived.
[51] Noctua flavicornis.
[52] Noctua fraxini.—The Nonpareils are very scarce in England, are very large moths, and have blue under-wings.
[53] Noctua triplacea.—Named Spectacle moth, from an appearance like spectacles on its thorax.
[54] Noctua conigera.—Brown line. Bright eye.
[55] Noctua furca.
[56] Sphinx convolvuli.—The unicorn caterpillar is difficult to find, from its habit of hiding itself in the ground, and only appearing on the surface in the evening to feed on the lesser bindweed, at which time it is frequently sought by collectors with a candle and lanthorn. The Pupa has an enormous rostrum, longer than the insect, and very thick, probably to contain the proboscis.
