The PURPLE HAIR-STREAK-BUTTERFLY. The Caterpillar feeds on Oak-Leaves, becomes a Chrysalis at the Beginning of June, and in a Month after the Fly appears. This Butterfly is not so easily taken as some others, for when it is not feeding it usually settles high. I have taken the greatest Numbers early in a Morning, when I have found them feeding on the Blossoms of the Blackberry.
