The LARGE MAGPYE, orCURRAN MOTH. Most Gardens and Hedges abound with theCaterpillarsof this Fly, which feed onCurranandGooseberry-Bushes, and also on theBlack Thorn,&c.They change into theChrysalis State, hanging by the Tail, at the End ofMay, and theMothsappear in the Middle ofJune. They are very common, and easily taken in an Evening in the Gardens, and most other Places, and may likewise be catch’d in the Day-time, by beating the Hedges and Bushes. TheCaterpillarlives all Winter, and in the Spring begins to feed as soon as the Buds are open.
