Pholisora catullus, Cram. 
The larva of this species is green; head black. Feeds on Moun¬ 
tain Mint ( Monarda ). 
Eudamus tityrus, Fab. Tityrus Skipper. 
Eggs laid singly on leaves of Locust tree ( Robinia pseudacacia) and 
Yield Locust (Robinia viscosa). 
The caterpillars hatch in July; when quite small they conceal 
themselves under a fold of the edge of a leaf, which is bent over 
their bodies and secured by means of a silken thread; when older 
and larger they take more than one leaf, drawing several together; 
the full-grown are two inches in length, of a pale green color, 
banded with darker green; neck red; head large, covered with 
minute tubercles slightly bilobed, of a dull red color; on each side 
of the lower part a large yellow spot. They live singly, and gener¬ 
ally leave the tree on which they have fed and seek dry leaves or 
stubble, under which they weave a web and there undergo their 
transformations. 
Eudamus bathyllus, Smith. Bathyllus Skipper. 
The larva of this species is very similar to that of the Tityrus 
Skipper, and feeds on Glycine , Hedysarum and Wild Bean ( Desmodium 
dillenii). The butterflies are found in May and June.
