THECLA RUBI.
This small butterfly is called in England the Green Hair Streak, It is said to have been netted in the Island during the summer months, and its appearance is believed to be well authenticated. The larva is green, with a yellow line on the back, bordered with darker, and followed by a line of pale triangular spots, and a yellow line on the sides: it lives on brambles, &c. The fly expands about one inch; it is of a uniform brown colour above, and a uniform green below, with a row of white dots on the underside of the hind-wings.
