Abstract
IT is well known that the larvæ of many insects, such as those of the case moths, clothes moths, caddis flies, tortoise beetles, and the masked bug, construct for themselves cases or artificial coverings either for protection or concealment, and a new and somewhat remarkable instance is described by Mr. R. Shelford, the curator of the Sarawak Museum, in the Zoologist for May. We are indebted to the publishers for the accompanying illustration of the caterpillar described.
