April (female); the third egg never hatched. Larval stemmata were 
visible through the chorion several hours before larval emergence. 
Neither larva was sacrificed, therefore detailed larval descriptions 
were not made. 
Both individuals passed through five larval instars, head capsule 
widths for which are shown in Table 1. First instars were yellow- 
green, but upon feeding, one day after hatching, they took on the 
same green color of their food plant. As reported by Young (1972), all 
instars rested on the undersides of leaves along veins exposed by 
larval feeding (Figure 2), and thus camouflaged, were very difficult to 
locate. Final instars (Figure 3) fed on older leaves and were a much 
darker green than were earlier stages.
