The Painted-lady Butterfly 
I SN’T she gorgeous? This butterfly 
is so beautiful that it seems as if 
Nature alone could not have made 
her, but had to have some help. The 
wings on the outside are a yellowish 
orange mixed with brownish black. 
Then the under side has a different 
marking, with many small eyelike spots 
on the hind wings. This butterfly is 
found in both the temperate zones and 
the tropical parts of the world, so you will have many opportunities to find it. 
The Tiger Lily 
S TRANGE to name so beautiful a thing as 
a lily after a wild animal!” you are doubt¬ 
less thinking; “yet not so strange to name 
a dog or a cat after a wild animal whose coloring 
is similar.” It is for the same reason that this lily 
is called a “tiger” lily—because of its coloring. 
This lily is a reddish orange color and thickly cov¬ 
ered with black spots. The blossoms nod in the 
wind, at the end of a long stem. It came first 
from China, but now is found almost everywhere. 
Probably it has always reminded people of the 
spotted, tawny coat of the tiger. 
The Diana Silver-spot Butterfly 
C TT THAT glorious coloring!” You may well say so, for besides 
this on the top of the wings, on the under side of the hind 
* * wings are the round silver spots. This is the male, and if 
'you saw the female yOu would not be¬ 
lieve that they belonged to the same 
family. For her coloring is blue-black 
with the outer rim of the wings a light 
blue, and the spots blue-black. They 
live on the nectar of flowers. They 
suck it up with their tongue, which is so 
long it is coiled up like a watch-spring, if 
not in use. This butterfly is found in 
the hilly country of the South.
