chiefly between half-grown and nearly 

 grown specimens. They were feeding in 

 the afternoon on the upper surface of 

 the leaves. The usual method of attack, 

 as observed, consisted in biting off the 

 midrib leaf one-half to one-third the 

 way up. Maidenhair or adiantum ferns 

 were attacked either by biting off the 

 leaflets at the tips of the fronds or by 

 biting off the entire frond about one 

 inch above the ground. The majority of 

 the larvae observed were resting either 

 near the tip of the frond of the midrib 

 or were concealed in the stems at the 

 base of the plant. 



An All-the-Year Pest. 



An entire house of adiantums had been 

 completely stripped of the leaves by the 

 larva;, and one grower stated that his 

 fern crop had been damaged to the ex- 

 tent of $1,000. It was stated that the 

 larvaj would cut the plants entirely bare, 

 and each new leaf would be attacked by 

 two or three larvae as soon as it ap- 

 peared. The same grower stated that 

 these worms had troubled his ferns the 

 previous year and that larva;, pupae and 

 imagos were seen throughout that win- 

 ter and preyed on the ferns the whole 

 year. 



The larva spins a loose cocoon by 

 drawing together dead leaves and parti- 

 cles of earth next to the ground. It some- 

 times draws together green leaves to spin 

 the cocoon. Though not strictly a noc- 

 turnal feeder, it shuns bright light and is 

 most often found feeding exposed in the 

 early morning. 



The moth is seldom seen by day and 

 when aroused it usually flies down under 

 the benches to seclude itself. Thus 

 many moths are caught in spider webs 

 that abound in dark corners in the green- 

 houses. 



The caterpillars seem to do the great- 

 est damage early in the year, especially 

 during May, but owing to the uniformly 

 warm temperature of the greenhouses, 

 winter as well as summer, there is no 

 time when they are scarce enough to al- 

 low the ferns "to put out a full head of 

 fronds. They attack the tender leaves 

 especially the growing tips of young 

 fronds, thus checking any attempt on 

 the part of a plant to replenish the dy- 

 ing fronds with a new growth, and so 

 far stunting it as to render it of no com- 

 mercial value.
