PAPILION IDiE.

Albinos, looking much like the albinos of the preceding species, 
are not rare, and very dark insects are occasionally taken. In all its 
varieties it is an attractive insect, and the dark rich colored females 
are very beautiful. There are two or more broods in a season, the 
first making its appearance in May and others coming through the 
latter part of the summer and fall. It is most numerous in August 
in open fields and meadows, and neglected pastures where thistles 
and burdocks abound are its special delight. 
Meganostoma ctesonia. 
The genus Meganostoma , which closely resembles Culias except 
that the apex of the wing is more pointed, is represented throughout 
the region east of the Rocky Mountains by Meganostoma ccesonia.
