Merian Ins, Siirin. pi. 68. 
The highly elegant Butterfly here represented is 
figured by Madam Merian in her History of the In- 
sedls of Surinam. Madam Merian however was un¬ 
able to say on what particular plant the caterpillar fed, 
having received it from a slave who had found it in a 
wood. The Butterfly made its appearance in about 
the space of a month from the time of changing into 
its chrysalis state.
