ACTIVE WORMS FEEDING WITHIN FOLDED LEAVES 303 



The Grape Leai-folder (Desmia funeralis Hhn.) 



Leaves of grape are folded with their upper surfaces together by a 

 small, active, greenish worm, which feeds inside. The worm is an 

 inch long when full grown, 

 has a brown head, and a 

 brown spot on each side of 

 the first two segments. 

 Transformation takes place 

 within the folded leaf. 



The adult is a small moth 

 with black wings spotted 

 with white. There are two 

 broods in the North, three 

 in the South. Winter is 

 passed as a pupa in the 

 folded leaf on the ground. 



To control, destroy or 

 plow under the fallen leaves. 

 Or spray very early in sum- 

 mer with Paris green or arsenate of lead so as to poison the first lot of 



caterpillars when they have just 

 hatched and before they fold the 

 leaves. 



The Strawberry Leaf-roller 



(Ancylis comptana Frohl.) 



A tiny worm, one third of an 

 inch long, brown or often green in 

 color, folds the leaves of straw- 

 berry, or sometimes blackberry or 

 raspberry, and feeds within. As the larva eats off the inclosed leaf 

 surface the leaf turns brown, and when the pests are numerous, whole 

 beds of plants will look as if scorched. 



Two broods occur in the North and three in the South. The later
