The Brown-Tail Moth. 



[Continued from paare 89.] 

 The brown-tail moth (Euproctis chrys- 

 orrhoea L.) was imported by a florist in 

 Somerville, a suburb of Boston, about 

 twenty years ago, probably on roses 

 from Holland or France. Its presence 

 was not discovered until 1897, when it 

 had already gained such headway that 

 extermination was out of the question. 

 Since 1907 it has rapidly spread, and its 

 range now includes much of the coastal 

 area of New England, including east- 

 ern Bhode Island, the eastern half of 

 Massachusetts, the eastern half of New 

 Hampshire, and the southern half of 

 Maine. Both sexes are strong fliers, 

 and the prevailing winds during the 

 flying season (July) have carried the 

 insect northward and eastward, rather 

 than southward and westward. Moths 

 of this species have been taken as far 

 away from Boston as St. Johns, New 

 Brunswick. 



This insect is a serious enemy of 

 orchard, forest, and shade trees and all 

 ornamental shrubbery. In Europe it 

 has a wide distribution, extending from 

 England to the Himalayas, and as far 

 north as Sweden and as far south as 

 Algeria. It is a well-known orchard 

 pest, and for many years laws have 

 been operative in Europe requiring the 

 property owners to clear their trees of 

 the hibernating nests of this insect in 

 winter. 



The damage to trees and shrubs by 

 this insect is often severe. It has a 

 special liking for pear and apple, but 

 has a recorded list of over eighty 

 different food plants. Thousands of 

 fruit trees in the vicinity of Boston 

 have been killed by this insect, and 

 serious injury has been done to wood- 

 lands and forests, not, however, equal- 

 ing the damage by the gipsy moth. It 

 does not seem to attack coniferous 

 trees. 



One of the most serious results of 

 the presence of the brown-tail is the 

 poisoning of human beings by the hairs 

 «hed by the caterpillars, discussed in 

 an earlier paragraph of this publica- 

 tion.
