Can AdeQ verify the statement that the moths of the several races of the common silkworm are very similar?
When the female moth comes out of the cocoon, are her wings less developed than those of a male moth at the same stage?
Thanks for answers to CD’s questions; would appreciate any new information on similarity of moths of distinct races.
CD has been "atrociously abused by religious countrymen, but it does not hurt except when it comes from an old friend like Prof. Owen".
Wishes French translator of Origin had known more natural history.
