Extract

On the 6th of June 1903, we found a Thecla caterpillar unknown to us feeding openly upon the berries of Vaccinium corymbosum. Its general colour was bright yellowish-green, which served to render it comparatively inconspicuous while feeding in the midst of a cluster of the unripe fruit. A faint, draker, dorsal stripe and a very minute coral-red spot in the middle of each segment, just above the lateral fold, were the only markings. The head was of a uniform light brown, and the body was clothed with short pile. Length, 12 mm.
