  lace-like 
  covering 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  and 
  other 
  body 
  parts.

  easy 
  of 
  recognition, 
  and, 
  under

  power, 
  they 
  

   are 
  really 
  pretty.

   bers 
  suflBicient

  cause

  are 
  not 
  troublesome 
  in 
  New

  in 
  general, 
  contact 
  poisons 
  

   would 
  be 
  advised 
  against 
  them 
  should 
  they 
  become

  dangerous.
