Larva and chrysalis of I'anessa autiopa. 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 LyCiena, 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 FtG. 258.
