SCARCE PAINTED LADY. 77 



four more or less distinct eyelets, and two very slender dark lines 

 near the margin, which is lilac-coloured. 



Underneath, the fore wings are elegantly varied with white, orange, 

 brown, and pink, with two eyes near the tip. The hind wings are 

 brown near the outside, with two very large eyes margined with 

 black; and between these and the margin are waved streaks of lilac, 

 brown, and white. The margin white. 



The caterpillar is differently said by some to bo green with black 

 rings round the body, and by others brown with the segments and 

 a line along the side yellow, and two lines along the back formed 

 alternately of white and red points. 



The chrysalis state is said to continue ten days. It is placed in 

 the leaves of plants folded and spun together. 



The plate is from Mr. Westwood's figure.
