The Catterpillar, of the 90th. Table, feeds on Haw-thorn
leaves, and Pear-tree leaves: As soon as Autumne comes,
they gather together, and Club for a Web; for that purpose
they knit together the tops of the yet tender boughs with
their leaves; and therein preserve themselves, as soon as
the weather is favorable to them, that is about the be∣ginning
of Aprill, they begin to eat againe; they leave
a Hole open, out of which they may goe and come in a∣gaine;
in cold weather they exactly shut that Hole:
Rain never stands upon the web, but slides off, as though
it was greasie: Titt-birds, eats them greedily.
This Catterpillar, changed the 2d. of Iune, and the
30th. of the same Month came forth a White Butterfly
marked with a Red spot on each wing.
