Hera Moth — Plate IX, Fig. 8

Form pica Walker, Plate XI, Fig. 3, Male; Fig. 4, Female. (The Magpie Moth.)

This extremely variable moth is represented by the typical form in the figure given upon Plate IX, and in the figures given upon Plate XI by two specimens showing the form, which is most common in Colorado and Wyoming, in which the wings are greatly suffused with black. To this form Walker's name pica properly applies.
