Popis:	During the summer of 1967 at the Archbold Biological Station in Lake Placid, Highland Co., Fla., we were raising many Florida queen butterflies, Danaus gilippus berenice (Cramer). For this work, we collected eggs and larvae primarily from the locally abundant queen butterfly larval food plant, Asclepias tuberosa rolfsii. This plant occurs in orange groves in the Childs Station area just north of the Biological Station, and we used it as the food plant for developing larvae. Suddenly, during the summer, larvae began showing an aberration in pupation behavior.
