THE INSECT RECORD FOR I902 



The unusually wet season tended to diminish the injuries of 

 such pests as grasshoppers, white-grubs, and aphides so that lit- 

 tle, if any, complaint was heard about them. It is in dry seasons 

 that the work of these insects is most likely to be in evidence. 



Cocoon of Cecropia Moth. Large, loose form. 



[Since the foregoing pages were written the Brown-tail Moth has been 

 found in considerable numbers in Seabrook and Hampton. They were 

 discovered in April, 1903.]
