FRUIT-TREES. 267 



I never obferved thefe in great numbers 

 together in any fort of web or kel ; but I 

 have generally found them fingle, fome-

 When they have inclofed themfelves in a 

 bunch of bloffoms or young fruit, then they 

 prove very deftruftive, by generally eating 

 into all they had joined together, which 

 caufes much fruit to drop off foon after, 

 and others when they are more grown. 



Some of thofe that are but flightly eat, 

 will continue upon the tree till the time of

 being generally ill tailed, and many times 

 have a white grub within them.
