The Common Skippers, The family Hesperiidae includes all skippers found in the United States except iQis the three species de- \'^^^/f//y^_^^.^^ scribed above as the /vi Giant Skippers. In ad- dition to the differences indicated in the table (p. 365), it may be said that the males in the Hesperiidae lack the pecu- liar thickening and split- ting apart of the branches of vein VII of the fore wings characteristic of the Giant Skippers. But there exists instead in the males of nearly all spe- cies peculiar scent-organs, which are described later. Figure 449 represents the venation of a male mem- ber of this family. Fig. 449.—Wings of Epargyreus tityrus. The larVSe of the Common Skippers pre- sent a very characteristic appearance, having large heads and strongly con- stricted necks (Fig. 450). They usually live con- cealed in a folded leaf or in a nest made of several leaves.
