This seems to be the most common species of the genus within our 

 limits, having been taken in all parts of the State. Itg habits, and food 

 plants, with the addition of oak, are essentially the same as those of 

 N. brizo. It winters as larva, and there are two broods each season.

Very common in the southern counties, but less so north. Its favorite 

 resorts are the damp, sandy places along streams where it may be taken 

 in numbers from May to September.

 vary exceedii gly. The larvse feed upon the various species of Monarda, 

 Chenopodium and Ambrosia, and those of the second brood of the season 

 hibernate in nests which they form of a folded leaf.
