HOW TO KNOW THE BUTTERFLIES 



tiny fellow just at its inner side. These spots 

 are dark brown with centers of mother-of-pearl, 

 the beauty of which needs a lens for its revealing. 

 Between the spots on the hind wing may be seen 

 just a trace of the red gold that is found in sim- 

 ilar position on the little wood-satyr. 



The species is double-brooded ; it is found 

 from the southern part of the Middle States 

 southward and in the Mississippi Valley. 



languorous lilac ! still in time's despite 



1 see thy plumy branches all alight 



With new-born butterflies, which loved to stay 

 And bask and banquet in the temperate ray 

 Of spring-time, ere the torrid heats should be.
