BUTTERFLIES 



Every lad who has himted biitterflies is famihar 

 with the white cabbage butterfly, which may often 

 be seen in great numbers in the cabbage and turnip 

 patches; some of them have dusky tips to their 

 wings with a few dusky spots upon them, while 

 others are white with dusky color near the body. 

 The accompanying illustration shows the white cab- 

 bage butterfly, the green larva and the chrysalis. 



The caterpillar is covered with dense hair and 

 is of a dull-green color. Some of these caterpillars 

 which I kept in captivity were devotued by a law- 

 less Isabella caterpillar confined in the same box. 

 By turning back to Fig. 123 you will see a sketch 

 of this cannibal.
