PL. 



feeds on milkweeds, and is found in Pennsylvania from June 

 onward. Chrysalis pale green spotted with gold. 



Breeds continuously. As summer comes the butterflies 

 move north, laying eggs. The insect spreads until it reaches 

 its northern limit in the Dominion of Canada. In fall it re- 

 turns. Swarms of the retreating butterflies gather on the 

 northern shores of Lakes Erie and Ontario and in southern 

 New Jersey. Recently the Monarch has become domiciled 

 in many parts of the Old World.

 livid brown. The markings, as shown by the Plate, are some- 

 what different from those of the preceding species. Expanse 

 2.5 to 3 inches. 



This butterfly does not occur in the North, but ranges 

 through New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and southward. 



Subfamily ITHOMIIN^ (THE ITHOMIIDS) 



Butterflies of moderate size, though a few species are quite 

 large. Fore wings at least twice as long as wide; hind wings
