Curtis British Entomology Plate 181
Lepidoptera: *Lasiocampa medicaginis (Medick Eggar Moth), probably = L. trifolii. Curtis?s 1827 description and illustrations of a male adult and a larva do not conform well with L. trifolii, to which it is usually referred. However, his depiction of the larva (which doesn?t match either L. trifolii or L. quercus) was copied from an earlier one by Esper, which was used in the preparation of Ochsenheimer?s original description of L. medicaginis) [Plant: Trifolium pratense (Common Purple Trefoil)]
