ORDER 



LEPIDOPTERA. 





JL HIS splendid Order of Insects furnishes the 

 most conspicuous example of the surprising dif- 

 ference in appearance between the larva or first 

 state of the same animal and its complete or per- 

 fect state, in which it is capable of breeding. 



The Lepidopterous Insects are divided into 

 three genera, viz. Papilio, Sphinx, and Phafana, 

 or Butterfly, Sphinx, and Moth.
