. The butterflies of the eastern United States. For the use of classes in zoology and private students. Butterflies. EASTERN. UNITED STATES. 213 Head dull olive, with dense minute prickles; bilobed, upon the vertices a pair of prickly horns. Back specked and mottled above the stigmata with olive of different shades, except joints 3 and 9 and the upper parts of 8 and 10, but with a continuous pure white substigmatal line. Below this, on joints 5 to 11, is a large olive patch, on joints 7 to 10 extending to the tip of the prolegs. A pair of black, transversely-arranged dorsal dots in the sutures behind joint 3, and a more or less obvious lateral one just above, and behind the sixth and eighth pair of stigmata. Joints 4 to 8 and 10 to 12 with more or less shining, elevated, blue dots. On joint 3 is a pair of prickly, cylindrical, black horns, transversely arranged, .16 of an inch long; on joints 4, Fig. 62. 11, and 12, a pair of dorsal tubercles, each ' ""Jjf crowned by a little bunch of from eight to twelve prickles; on joint 6, a pair of similar tubercles, but larger and of a yellowish color; on joints 5, 7, 8, and 10, tubercles similar to those on joints 4,11, and 12, but smaller; on joint 13, four black, prickly, dorsal horns. The pupa (Fig. 62) is similar in form to that of L. Arth&mis, and is marked with burnt umber-brown, ash-gray, flesh color, and white. The winter is passed in a hibernaculum consisting of a leaf, similar to L. Arthemis, except when there is more than one brood in a season. In this case it is only the last brood that has a torpid state. The food-plants are apple, plum, willow, poplar, and oak.
