SCHOOL ENTOMOLOGY 



The " hair-streaks " 

 may be bluish or slaty 

 black above, but are 

 lighter beneath and are 

 marked with delicate lines 

 of white or red on the 

 under side. There are 

 many species, but few are 

 common. They are usu- 

 ally slightly larger than 

 the blues. 



The ' ' coppers ' ' may 

 be dull colored, black, 

 brown or tan, but gen- 

 erally have some portion 

 of the wings coppery with 

 metallic luster. There are 

 but two or three species 

 which we may consider 

 common. They are less 

 delicate than the other 

 groups of the family, but 

 are by no means robust.

 the exception of a few
