170 Bugs, Butterflies, and Beetles 



we will undoubtedly find the Monarch or milk- 

 weed butterfly. This butterfly has a pretty chrys- 

 alis of bright-green color ornamented with golden 

 beads; you will find it sheltered under the project- 

 ing top of the old white board garden fence. 



The caterpillar feeds on the different kinds of 



milkweed. It is yellow in color and has broad 

 bands of black. There is also a pair of thread-like 

 appendages growing on the second division of its 

 body and another pair on the eleventh division. 

 The butterflies are very common and, so far as I 

 know, do no injury to any of the garden plants or 

 vegetables and not any serious damage to the milk- 

 weed upon which they feed.
