European Corn Borer ! 
Pyrausta nubilalis Hubn. 
Ear of corn showing external injuries. Note the circular hole in 
the husks and near the base of the ear; the conspicuous moist 
borings indicate serious injury. 
1 Permission to make the first reproduction of the four admirable colored plates, 
I-4, drawn from life by R. E. Snodgras was very kindly given by Dr L. O. 
Howard, Chief of the Federal Bureau of Entomology.
