SMALL SKIPPER.
163
Underneath, all the central part of the fore wings is also
fulvous, the base and lower edge dusky, the outer corner greenish.
The hind wings are also of a greenish hue, the lower inside
corner orange.
The female wants the black bar, and there is no dusky colour
about the base. In other respects she resembles the male.
The caterpillar, which is of solitary habits, is of a deep green
colour, with a dark line down the back, and two whitish lines
along the sides, edged with black.
The chrysalis is of a green colour, and is enclosed in a slight
cocoon.
The engraving is from specimens in my own cabinet.
