BUTTERFLIES OF THE VICINITY OF NEW YORK CITY 
In general appearance this butterfly resembles Anosia plexippus, 
but may be distinguished therefrom at once by its smaller size, 
scalloped outer borders and the black band across the middle of 
the hind wings. It is common in this vicinity, where it is found 
usually along the borders of damp places and in waste fields. It is 
double-brooded, the first brood appearing in June and the second in 
July and August. The young caterpillar of the last brood rolls 
the tip of a leaf around itself, remains thus enclosed all winter and 
completes its transformation the following spring. It feeds on 
poplar, willow, apple, plum and oak. 
Subfamily SATYRINA. 
The species of this subfamily are chiefly found in woods, 
glades and lanes, not often being seen in clearings or open fields. 
' The flight of the butterflies is low, feeble and dancing in style, and 
is not long sustained. In color they are nearly always brown, 
with or without eye-like spots, above or below. The caterpillars 
are furnished with a fork-like process at the end of the body. 
Their food is different kinds of grasses. The species may be 
distinguished by the use of the following table:
