  REPORT 
  OF 
  NEW 
  JERSEY 
  STATE 
  MUSEUM. 
  

  

  S. 
  Candida 
  Fabr. 
  Throughout 
  the 
  State, 
  late 
  May 
  to 
  August, 
  locally 
  

   common. 
  The 
  larva 
  is 
  the 
  "round-headed 
  apple 
  borer," 
  which 
  some- 
  

   times 
  does 
  great 
  injury 
  in 
  apple 
  orchards, 
  though 
  it 
  is 
  even 
  more 
  

   destructive 
  in 
  quince, 
  and 
  breeds 
  also 
  in 
  "Crataegus" 
  and 
  "Amelan- 
  

   chier." 
  The 
  larva 
  can 
  be 
  cut 
  out 
  when 
  first 
  noticed 
  or 
  reached 
  with 
  

   a 
  soft 
  wire 
  in 
  the 
  later 
  stages; 
  but 
  the 
  best 
  practice 
  is 
  to 
  protect 
  

   the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  tree 
  with 
  some 
  mechanical 
  covering 
  that 
  will 
  prevent 
  

   the 
  parent 
  beetle 
  from 
  laying 
  eggs 
  or 
  the 
  young 
  from 
  getting 
  into 
  

   the 
  trunk. 
  Wire 
  netting, 
  paper, 
  and 
  other 
  coverings 
  serve 
  the 
  first 
  

   purpose; 
  whitewash, 
  cement, 
  soap 
  mixtures 
  and 
  similar 
  compounds 
  

   the 
  second.
