L WO specimens VI Cdt"I pillars udN z
been received at the department of ag-
rculture, which were sent in I'M
der the suspicion that they
were the caterpillar5 of the dread
ed gypsy moth. The two
specimens were not alike, one being the
red hump caterpillar, and the other. the
caterpillar of the old tussock moth. but
the one who sent them in WAS not famil-
lar with them, and thought that one or
both might be specimens of the cater
pillar referred to above. Neither of
the two caterpillars We're more than an
inch in length, while the caterpillar of
the gypsy moth is fully two inches
long. An unfailing mark OF identity on
the caterpillar of the gypsy moth. is
the presence of double row of blue
spots on the back. followed by a double
row of crimson spots. The caterpillar
is also covered with light brown hairs,
growing in tufts along tire entire length
of it's body. There are as yet. SO far as
is known, no gypsy moths i'm Maine.
but it is possible that they may make
their appearance. and it IS well for peO-
pie to be on the lookout for strange
caterpillars and moths of all kinds.
