PAPILIO BUTTERFLIES. 



The Turnus Butterfly is one of the largest in North 

 America. Its color is a beautiful yellow, with black 

 markings, and the hind wings are tailed. The cater- 

 pillar feeds upon the leaves of the apple and wild- 

 cherry trees, folding them up so as to make a case for 

 itself. When fully grown, it is about two inches long, 

 green above, with rows of blue dots, and yellow and 

 black marks, and its head and legs are pink. It be- 

 comes a chrysalis early in August, and comes out a 

 butterfly the next summer. See Figure 264.
