Extract

I send you a few specimens of an insect which I have found parasitic on the larvæ of P. cardui. For several successive summers I have reared a number of these caterpillars, with which our thistles in most seasons abound. I observed variations in size and color of the larvæ found feeding on the same plant, which led me to suppose that they might not belong to the same species.
