Fig. 40 This beautiful in- sect has been more than usually com- mon in some dis- tricts of our Pro- vince during the past year, and al- ways attracts atten- tion from its size and its majestic flight, floating through the air as it does in the most stately manner. The butterfly, Fig. 40, measures about four inches across, when its wings are ex- panded ; the body is black above, margined with pale yellow, the wings yellow banded with black, the hind pair powdered on their outer margin with patches of blue scales. The caterpillar (Fig. 41) is rather a strange looking creature, of an olive green colour, with a whitish bloom and a prominent eye-like spot on each side of the fourth segment. It feeds chiefly on the apple, cherry thorn and bass- wood.
