Georgian Satyr
Butterfly.--The upper side is immaculate gray; beneath pale, with two ferruginous transverse lines. Between these lines is a ferruginous line on each wing, rudely describing a circle. In the circle on the fore wing are three or four eye-spots with a blue pupil and a yellow iris; in the circle on the hind wing are six eye-spots which are oblong and have the pupil oval. Expanse, 1.25 inch.
Early Stages.--These have been fully described, and are not unlike those of other species of the genus. The caterpillar feeds on grasses.
The insect ranges from New Jersey to the Gulf of Mexico as far west as Texas.
