  It 
  

   can

   the

  grows 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey. 
  The 
  

  

  larva 
  is 
  the 
  well-known 
  peach 
  borer, 
  which 
  attacks 
  the 
  trees 
  

   at 
  or 
  just 
  beneath 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  ground 
  and 
  often 
  kills 
  

   young 
  trees. 
  These 
  borers 
  may 
  be 
  cut 
  out 
  in 
  spring 
  and 
  fall, 
  or 
  the 
  

   trees 
  may 
  be 
  protected 
  by 
  wire-netting, 
  newspaper, 
  or 
  a 
  wash 
  of 
  ce- 
  

   ment, 
  lime 
  or 
  other 
  mechanical 
  covering 
  that 
  extends 
  two 
  inches 
  be- 
  

   low 
  and 
  eighteen 
  inches 
  above 
  the 
  surface. 
  The 
  larva 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  

   found 
  feeding 
  in 
  willow 
  (Bt, 
  Ang).
