95. Hoary Cloudy-Wing (Eudamus lycidas). 
Not common. It may be found in June and July in open places 
and edges of woods. The flight of the butterfly is swift, and it darts 
off very rapidly when disturbed. Besides alighting on flowers, it has 
the habit of sitting on the tips of dead branches of bushes and 
young trees. It is single-brooded. The caterpillar feeds on tick- 
trefoil (Desmodium) and other Leguminose. 
96. Long-Tailed Hesperid (Eudamus proteus). 
Exceedingly rare in this neighborhood, but very common in the 
Southern States. The caterpillar feeds on wild bean (Phaseolus), 
butterfly-pea (Clitoria), wistaria, tick-trefoil (Desmodium) and other 
allied plants
