Indeed, in the larva stage, many moths surpass in their wonderful raiment of velvet and satin, of ermine and sable, jewelled over with gold and silver studs of various metallic tints, anything which the butterfly division can boast; and the careful portraiture of these truly magnificent caterpillars will form a principal feature in the present work."
