A Rearing Method for <i>Argynnis (Speyeria) diana</i> (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) That Avoids Larval Diapause

<table>Mean time to eclosion (+/− SE) for <i>A. diana </i>offspring from North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee reared on three Southern Appalachian violet (<i>Viola</i>) species, <i>V. sororia, V. pedata, </i>and <i>V. pubescens</i>. The only significant differences in time to eclosion was between the sexes (<svg height="13.6125" id="M6" style="vertical-align:-2.34499pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 54.9375 13.6125" width="54.9375" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
