Jago. The south- ern provinces are as yet exempt from this trouble- some insect. The glow-worms that I have seen were in ge- neral similar to those of Italy. But one nighty as I was passing a little wood^ I observed three in- sects as large as the death's head sphinx ( sphinx atropos ) which gave a very bright light. My attempts to take them^ however, were fruitless, and I was never afterwards able to discover any of them^ but I am of opinion tliat they vrere a species of the lantern-fly. Of ca...terpillars there is a great variety of spe- cies ; and in the summer the fields of Chili are embellished with the most beautiful butterflies?: Among them are some that are remarkable for their size and the splendour of tlicir colours. Of thesCj the most distinguished is one that I have denominated the, parrot huiterjlij (papilio psitta- eus). This is vcrv larire and wonderful! v beau- tiful; the top of the head is of a fine vermilion, marked with yellow; the back yellow^ with red, azurcj and green spots ; the i:pper part of tiiP wings is grcen^ spotted with vellow andblue, and the lower of a pale red ; ths belly is blue, speckled with brown and grey, and the autennaiv 1 174 vs hich are shaped like a club^ are purple.
