ATTACKING THE FRUIT 139 



The caterpillar is pale green, with cream-colored spots, and a 

 broad, cream-colored band along the sides. When full grown, 

 it leaves the fruit and works its way under the surface of 

 the ground, where it forms a very thin, filmy, silken cocoon, 

 within which it changes to a reddish-brown chrysalis. 



The moth escapes in the autumn, and is of a dull ash-gray 

 color, with its fore wings variegated with darker gray, or 

 grayish brown, as shown in the figure.
