To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were not stretched out in a straight line, neither were they hunched up like the cater- pillars of the Luna and Polyphemus moths ; but, when at rest, they bent the forepart of the body sidewise, so that the head nearly touched the middle of the side, and their long horn-like spines were stretched forwards, in a slanting direction, over the head. When disturbed they raised their heads and horns, and shook them from side to side in a menacing manner. These little caterpillars were nearly bla...ck ; on each of the rings, except the last two, there were six straight yellow thorns or spines, which were furnished on all sides with little sharp points like short branches. Of these branched spines, two on the top of the first ring, and four on the second and the third rings, or ten in all, were very much Longer than the rest, and were tipped with little knobs, ending in two points ; they were also movable, the insect having the power of dropping them almost horizontally over the head, and of raising them up again perpendicularly.
