Economic entomology for the farmer Economic entomology for the economicentomolo00smit_0 Year: 1896 THE INSECT WORLD. 245 young. A number of other common species belong in this family, but, as they do not feed upon cultivated plants in suffi- cient numbers to attract attention, they need not be further considered. Fig. 256. Larva and chrysalis of Vanessa anttopa. Quite early in spring we may see, fluttering along the road- sides, little blue butterflies expanding less than an inch when the wings are spread, and without prominent markings of any kind. These belong to the family LyccenidcE, usually to the typical genus Lycceyia, and from them the term 'blues,' as a popular name, has been derived. Later in the summer we find com- monly bright coppery butterflies, not much larger than the *' blues '' already spoken of, and on the upper surface, especially Fig. 258.
