in the hatching of the eggs and the varying extent to which 

 a second brood is produced, there is considerable overlapping 

 between the successive generations, and Iarva3 may be found 

 throughout the whole summer and early autumn. 



Methods of Control. 1. The cocoons with eggs may be 

 destroyed during the winter. 



2. The caterpillars which are conspicuous may be dealt with 

 by hand-picking if spraying is not desirable, or shaken off 

 their food plant and destroyed from May to September. 



3. Attacked plants may be sprayed with load arsenate to 

 poison the foliage on which the caterpillars are feeding. 



Formula Lead Arsenate Paste ... lib. 



Water 20-25 gallons. 



4. Owing to the females being wingless and moving very 

 little, the species can only spread in the caterpillar stage, nnd 

 so if care is taken in dealing with the first attack, the insect 

 is not thereafter difficult to control.
