black spots, of which there is a row within the outer 
margin, followed by another indistinct series of the same. 
Hind wings clear white, semi-transparent, with a broad 
deeply indented border of dull black. The thorax is 
cream white dotted with black. 
Localities for this species are Christ Church, Stow- 
market, Worthing, Brighton, Manchester, Epping, and 
I believe Glanville’s Wootton, and the Isle of Wight. 
It is an extremely rare species in this country, and as 
beautiful as it is rare. 
The perfect insect appears in September and on to 
October. 
The caterpillar is bluish-grey, with black hair, a wide 
stripe of white along the back, and a red band interrupted 
in a dotted manner in the middle on each segment with 
black spots. 
It feeds on the field mouse-ear (.Myosotis arvensis ), 
and the marvel of Peru.
