Scopula forficalis, Garden Pebble Moth, is thus accurately described by Mr. Curtis: - "The perfect insect measures rather more than an inch across, when its wings are expanded. The upper pair are hazel-coloured, with four stripes, two of which are distinct, and the other faint; the under wings as well as the body are whitish, and on the former, near the centre, there is a curved brown streak and another black on the margin. The first brood of caterpillars occurs in May, and the second in the autumn; and when very numerous they do considerable injury to cabbages and plantations of horseradish. The caterpillar is eight or ten lines long, with the head of a light brown colour, and the body is yellowish green, with black longitudinal stripes. Almost the only method of destroying these caterpillars, is to hand-pick them, which, from their small size, will be very tedious; if, however, a mat or piece of linen he laid under the infested plants, they may be shaken into it, and thus a great number be collected in a short time." - Gard.
