Excerpt from 16th Report of the State Entomologist on Injurious and Other Insects of the State of New York, 1900 The young caterpillar is slightly over a tenth of an inch long just after it emerges fi'om the egg. It has a black head, the body is brown ish yellow and well clothed with long hairs. There is a prominent hairy tubercle on either side of the segment next the head; this gives the caterpillar a peculiar broad-headed appearance, specially in its early stages. The markings become plainer as it increases in size, and, when full grown, it is from 2 to inches long and has the appearance shown in fig. 6 and 7 on plate 1. The somewhat conical. Dark brown pupa ranges from 94 to 1 2 inches long and is well represented in fig. 5 on pl. 1. It is usually found lying among a few threads and securely attached to them by its terminal spine.
