THE PROMETHEA MOTH, CALLOSAMIA PROMETHEA.
HERBERT OSBORN.
This beautiful moth is one of the rather common species belonging to the
group of silkmaking Lepidoptera. The moths appear in May or June. The
female is light rusty brown and drab with a darker area across the
middle of the wings, while the males are much darker, nearly black, and
differ further from the females in the shape of the wings and markings
as shown in the figures.
