black spots, of which there is a row within the outer 

 margin, followed by another indistinct series of the same. 

 Hind wings clear white, semi-transparent, with a broad 

 deeply indented border of dull back. The thorax is 

 cream white dotted with black. 



Localities for this species are Christ Church, Stow- 

 market, Worthing, Brighton, Manchester, Epping, and 

 I believe Glanville's Wootton, and the Isle of Wight. 

 It is an extremely rare species in this country, and as 

 beautiful as it' is rare. 



The perfect insect appears in September and on to 

 October. 



The caterpillar is bluish-grey, with black hair, a wide 

 stripe of white along the back, and a red band interrupted 

 in a dotted manner in the middle on each segment with 

 black spots. 



It feeds on the field mouse-ear ( Myosotis arcensisj, 

 and the marvel of Peru.
