SPRING BROOD OF MOTHS. 
Duration of emergence.—Emergence began out of doors March 31, 
on which date we captured a moth while collecting wintering mate- 
rial at the outdoor apple bin. As no empty pupal cases were found 
this may be considered the beginning of emergence. Ben Davis 
apple trees were in full bloom at this time. From wintering material 
collected March 31, moths began emerging April 9. Some probably 
would have issued earlier had not a large proportion of the pup been 
injured in collecting. On again examining the apple bin, on April 21, 
the numerous empty pupal cases indicated that about 25 per cent of 
the moths had issued, there being found 64 empty cases and 193 
larve and pupe. By May 27 all moths had emerged from collected 
wintering material except two belated individuals which issued 
June 6 and 8. The latter date coincides with the issuance of the first 
moth of the first brood. Briefly, the spring brood of moths issued 
during a period of 2 months, beginning with the date of full-bloom 
of apple trees (March 31). 
The emergence of moths from collected wintering material is shown 
in Table IV.
