Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Metamorphoses of Lepidoptera From San Paulo, Brazil, in the Free Public Museum, Liverpool
I have tried collecting specimens and transferring them to trees in the neighbourhood of my ranch, so that I could look at them without having to keep them in the house. But the results have not been satisfactory for the larvae were sure to get full-fed and wander away whilst I was in town.
