Clymene Moth
This is one of the most constant species of the genus, and may easily be recognized by the figure we have given upon the plate. It ranges from southern New England to Georgia, and westward to the Mississippi. The larva feeds upon Eupatorium it is said, and the writer believes that the statement, which has been called in question, is correct, for, although he has never reared the larvae to maturity himself, he has observed the female moth ovipositing upon this plant in southern Indiana. It is also said to feed upon willows.
