youngsters stepping from them are
clad in olive-brown or greenish
brown.
One week after the eggs are laid
the infants are seen grazing upon
the sides of the leaf, taking. nap,
or resting upon the midrib. All
through July feasting goes on, some
continuing until the middle of Au-
gust. Two or more tight skins are
shed before making winter quarters,
and at this time the young banded
purple, has passed his third cater
pillar stage.
All through the winter he sleeps,
sometimes covered by sleet, some
times buried under snow. BY the
middle of May, when the frost has
gone from the earth and tender
young buds on the birches are out,
the hibernator steps from his win
ter retreat and begins to build up
his low resistance. In three weeks
this is accomplished and he goes
into the chrysalis form, reappearing
in June as a handsome butterfly
wishing to wed.
The mother banded purple has a
broad white stripe running midway
through the wings on both surfaces
This white appears more conspicu-
Gus because of its contrast to the
purplish or brownish black on the
remainder of the wings. The white
band is enhanced by the presence OF

Butterflies and summer always

know it is the time Of the year when
flowers are coaxing these winged
fairies of the air to come and sip
nectar. No common butterfly of ours
is more beautifully marked than the
banded purple. A more northern
range appeals to this member of the
tribe of the sovereigns.
You will begin to see these butter

their eggs in July upon the tips of
