It is a swift flyer and hard to capture, as it has the Polygonia trick of folding its wings and disappearing against the bark of a tree or the leafy floor. The butterfly issues from a greenish gold-trimmed chrysalis about the first of July; it flies all summer, and un- daunted by the exigencies of butterfly life it seeks a hibernating place in late October or November. i47.
