Life History
The caterpillar is white in the early stage and turns yellow in the last instar. In its late stage not unlike the caterpillar of Pathysa nomius. (Davidson & Aitken quoted in Bingham) The green pupa is as in all swallowtails held by a silk girdle. Said to be found mainly on the plant Unona lawii and never under stones. (Davidson and Aitken)

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or history:
“Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
