The Catterpillar of the 49th. Table: I fed 13 Dayes
with the Leaves of Willow trees, when it began to Ab∣stain
from Meat, it turned and tossed every way with
great anxiety, and labour, and then it gently reposed and
changed the 17th. Day of Iuly, and the 20th. Day of
August, came forth a Yellow Fly, not unlike a Bee:
Figured in the Table.
We have said that Ichneumons arc of the Wasp kind, it is
therefore no wonder that some sort of Wasps or Bee, neare
alike in shape to that which we vulgarly own & call Wasps,
shou'd be nurished after the same manner, that is, shou'd
make the bodies of Catterpillars, the place of their nourish∣ment,
if not the matter too, as in this By-Birth: This is
yet a great mistery to us after what manner, and on what
these Wasp-Wormes feed within the Bodys of Catter∣pillars;
the Anxiety of the Catterpillar in its change
argued the troublesom Guest, it had in its Body.
