Tue antenne are club-shaped at their termina- 
tion, the wings erect when at rest ; they extend two 
inches, to two inches and one-sixth, and are of an 
uniform dark blackish brown on the upper side, 
indented with a white band and spots; between 
which, and the base, is an ashy crescent-shaped 
disc, and four white dots, with a double parallel 
series of obscure, black marginal spots. The under 
side of the wings is of a rich orange yellow, with 
a white band and spots. 
The caterpillar of the White Admirable butterfly 
is green, and feeds upon the common honeysuckle 
and woodbine. 
The chrysalis is green, spotted with golden me- 
tallic spots, forked in front. The fly is found in the 
months of June and July on the skirts of woods. 
It localizes in the south-eastern counties of England, 
particularly in Sussex, Essex, Kent, Berks, Hants, 
Middlesex, and Suffolk.
