(3) Pyrameis cardui (Linnaeus), Plate XXXV, $ (The 

 Painted Lady; The Thistle Butterfly). 



Easily distinguished from the preceding by the numerous 

 and much smaller eye-spots forming a band on the under side 

 of the hind wings. Expanse 2.00-2.25 inches. 



Found all over the world, except in the tropical jungles of 

 equatorial lands. 



The caterpillars feed on various species of thistles, nettles, 

 and marshmallows. 



GENUS JUNONIA HUBNEB 



(PEACOCK BUTTERFLIES). 



Medium-sized butterflies with eye-spots on upper side of 

 wings. Neuration almost exactly like that of the genus Pyra- 

 meis, save for the fact that the cell of the fore wing is usually, 

 and of the hind wing always, open. Egg broader than high, 

 flattened on top and adorned by ten very narrow and low ver- 

 tical ribs. Caterpillars cylindrical, longitudinally striped, and 

 with several rows of branching spines. Chrysalis arched on 

 back, curved inwardly in front, and somewhat bifid at head, 

 with the two projections rounded.
