are chocolate brown bordered 



with black. The front wings are sprinkled with white dots inside 



the margins. The viceroy in Florida imitates the queen in color. 



THE LONG-BEAKS 



These butterflies are easily distinguished by their long beak-like 

 palpi which are from one-fourth to one-half as long as the body — 



only two species are found in the 

 United States. 



The Snout-butterfly. — This little 

 butterfly looks as if it had had its 

 front wing tips snipped off with 

 cur\^ed scissors. It sometimes oc- 

 curs in swarm.s but is usually rather 

 rare. It haunts river banks and 

 marshy places. Its caterpillar feeds 

 upon hackberry. 



The Snout-Butterfly 

 Blackish brown marked with 

 orange patches and white spots. 



THE GOSSAMER WINGS 



These are our sm.allcst butterflies, few of them measuring more 

 than an inch across the expanded wings. They include the hair 

 streaks, coppers and blues.
