Thus, Mr. Clark observes, the lit

midsummer In northeastern United
States, will fearlessly attack wasps,
bees, large flies, and butterflies much

The only other butterfly that ha
bitually -attacks birds is the com

normally is one of the most peace

Between males of this species there
are only feeble half-hearted fights;
but It entertains special animos
ity for hummingbirds.
In spite of its essentially peace
ful disposition," Mr. Clark says, "It
la not without courage,: for It will
attack most viciously a humming
bird so Incautious as to approach
too near the flower oh which it la
