Bombycia Improvisa
The habitat of the insect is on the Pacific slope in the northern portions of the coast ranges.
"Then rapidly with foot as light
As the young musk-roe's, out she flew
To cull each shining leaf that grew
Beneath the moonlight's hallowing beams
For this enchanted wreath of dreams,
Anemones and Seas of Gold,
And new-blown lilies of the river,
And those sweet flowrets that unfold
Their buds on Camadeva's quiver."
THOMAS MOORE.--Lalla Rookh.
