Alypia Octomaculata
This very common insect, which sometimes proves a veritable plague by the depredations which it commits upon the foliage of the Ampelopsis, which is extensively grown in our cities as a decorative vine, is found everywhere in the northern Atlantic States, and ranges westward beyond the Mississippi. One good thing which can be set down to the English sparrow is the work, which he has been observed by the writer to do in devouring the larvae of this moth from the vines with which his home is covered.
