  More 
  or 
  less 
  common 
  throughout 
  the 
  State, 
  May 
  to 
  Sep- 
  

   tember. 
  The 
  larva 
  hibernates, 
  becomes 
  full 
  grown 
  early 
  in 
  May 
  and 
  

   produces 
  adults 
  late 
  May 
  and 
  June. 
  Second 
  brood 
  adults 
  appear 
  in 
  

   late 
  July 
  and 
  continue 
  to 
  September. 
  Food 
  plants 
  are 
  apple, 
  plum, 
  

   cherry, 
  willow, 
  poplar,

  This 
  variety 
  has 
  

   probably 
  been 
  mistaken 
  for 
  "arthemis" 
  in 
  times 
  past, 
  and 
  by 
  its 
  com- 
  

   plete 
  white 
  fascia 
  it 
  resembles 
  that 
  species 
  quite 
  strongly.

  It 
  is 
  

   probable 
  that 
  this 
  is 
  occasionally 
  found 
  among 
  the 
  hills 
  in 
  the 
  ex- 
  

   treme 
  northern 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  State; 
  the 
  larva 
  on 
  willow 
  and 
  thorn.

  An 
  occasional 
  companion 
  of 
  the 
  preceding 
  

   and 
  generally 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  it. 
  Others 
  believe 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  

   a 
  distinct 
  species, 
  feeding 
  on 
  apple, 
  and 
  so 
  I 
  have 
  listed 
  it 
  here.

   Hibernates

  larva, 
  which 
  becomes 
  full 
  grown 
  in 
  May

  produces 
  

   adults 
  in 
  June; 
  second

  on. 
  Larva

  They 
  are 
  brush-footed 
  as 
  completely 
  as 
  the 
  previous 
  family, 
  

   and 
  the 
  chrysalis
