16 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
THE HOST OF THECLA HALESUS 
While in Gainesville last March Mr. Geo. B. Pierson; an en- 
thusiastic butterfly hunter of Los Angeles, Cal., captured a cater- 
pillar feeding on mistletoe. After leaving Gainesville Mr. Pier- 
son was successful in raising this caterpillar to maturity. It 
turned out to be the hair streak butterfly, Thecla halesus. Holland 
in the “Butterfly Book” states that not much is known of the 
early stages but quotes Abbott to the effect that it occurs on oaks.
