The brown one above the Long-tailed Skipper is called Afranius’s Dusky Wing. It is common in Arizona. The one below the Common Sooty Wing is Thanaos Clitus, having black hind wings with a broad fringe of white. Its home is Arizona and New Mexico. Nothing is known of its early stages.
The large butterfly in the lower left corner is Pyrrhopyginæ craxes, a native of southern Texas, Mexico, and farther south. Its antennæ end in curved, blunt clubs. When resting it spreads its wings horizontally. Nothing is known of its life history.
Poised on the clover a female Hoary Edge shows the under side of her wings. This belongs to the Middle and Southern States.
Flying toward the white bloom is a relative, a male Golden-banded Skipper, common in Virginia, the Carolinas, and westward to Arizona and Mexico.
Much more beautiful in form is the Swallowtail, Papilio rutulus, the Pacific Coast representative of the Tiger Swallowtail of the Atlantic States. Its ground color is a pale yellow, and it has tiger stripes like its near cousin.
