" P. Machaon is seen on the wing at Deyrab, in the valley of the 



Dhoon, as early as February, and in April its larvae are abundant there 



upon the Carrot. At Masuri, in the Hills, it appears in the latter end 



of March, and continues till October. It is abundant about Simla, 



and extends far into the interior." *

•' The larva is green, with a black velvety transverse band across each 

 segment, bearing four spots of bright orange ; it possesses the orange- 

 colored retractile process in the head, from which exudes a liquid drop 

 of a strong aromatic scent, when the insect is touched, precisely as in 

 the European larva. The food is the wild and garden Carrot, and the 

 leaves and flowers of the Radish. I have taken the larvae at Masuri 

 early in May, and the pupa on the 18th May."* 



Pupa " is green, with a streak of yellow on each side, and an irregu- 

 lar row of yellow spots on the back." — Duncan. 



In England the imago appears from May to August.
