Cobweb Skipper
Butterfly.--The upper side of the wings is fairly well represented in the plate, the male being a little too red, and the wings at the base and the discal stigma not being dark enough. On the under side the wings are brown, darker than on the upper side. The pale markings of the upper side are all repeated below as distinct pearly-white spots, and in addition on the hind wings near the base there is a curved band of similar white spots. Expanse, male, 1.20 inch; female, 1.25-1.30 inch.
Early Stages.--We know as yet but little of these.
The species occurs in New England, New York, and westward to Wisconsin.
