They were flying in dozens over the field and opening and closing their wings as they rested on tlie clover blossoms sip[)ing the honey. In the sonthern states and Mexico this is one of the connnonest of bntterflies. The larva feeds on the leaves of the orange and lemon trees and at times is snfficiently plentiful to do some damage. It is a large and formidable looking creature, being purplish brown in color, with large patches of liglit yellow disjjosed as shown in the accompanying illustration. Tlie chrysalis looks a good deal like that of Papilio asterias in shape, but is larger and rougher and is mottled witli brown, purple and Papilio tlioas. Closely allied to Papilio eresphontes and looking a good deal like it is Papilio thoas. The two species are easily separated, Papilio.
