. The butterfly hunters. Lepidoptera -- New England Juvenile literature; Insects. S8 THE BUTTERFLY HUNTERS. the fore wings are black, spotted with white toward the tips and orange toward the shoulders. Round the black. Cynthia Huntera. bo^d^-r of the hind wings are some small crescent-shaped black spots, inside oF which is a row of black dots. The under side of the wings of the Cynthia Huntera are more beautiful than those of any other butterfly we have ex- amined. The hind wings are very delicately marbled with drab and white. On the margin are delicate lines of drab and white, and just inside four purplish spots. On the male there are only two of these spots, and they are much larger than those on the female and edged with white. The fore wings are beautifully spotted with pink, black and white on a drab ground. This specimen of Frank's is very perfect, and bright in color, as it has only just now come forth from the chrysalis. A few weeks later you will find these butterflies very common. They are not large, expanding at the most only two and a half.
