Extract

Nowehere in the flora or insect fauna do we see it better illustrated than by some of our Argynnids and Asclepiadaceœ. It must therefore be admitted that these Asclepiads are striking example of entomophilous of insect-loving plants, and anyone in quest of insects will not be disappointed by dilgently studying the distribution of the Milk-weed family. Lepidoptera and hymenoptera visit these plants.
