ous, velvety black stripe near the middle, below the cell. 
Under side of the wings, light brown, with the yellow 
spots larger and lighter than above. The hind wings have 
the larger part of the middle covered by a large, irregular, 
pale yellow spot, nearly divided in the middle. 
The females differ in having only a tinge of yellow on the 
costa; and the spots beyond the cell are larger and clearer 
than in the males; and the oblique velvety stripe is of course 
wanting. 
This very common species feeds on grass. The eggs are 
pale greenish yellow, strongly convex above, and flattened at 
the base; and the surface is faintly reticulated. They hatch 
in fourteen davs, and the young larva is one-tenth of an inch 
long, with a large, shining black head. The body is dull 
brownish yellow, dotted with black. The second segment 
has a ring of brownish black on it. Under side, paler than 
above, and the whole surface is clothed with fine hairs. 
This butterfly is on the wing in Orono from the middle of 
June to the last of July.
