H. cunea Dru. Common through- 

 out the State. The larva is 

 known as the " Fall Web- 

 worm " because at this time the 

 second brood makes conspicu- 

 ous web nests or tents on a large 

 variety of shade and orchard 

 trees. Pulling down the nests 

 and spraying with arsenites for 

 the first brood, or thorough 

 spraying for the second, is indi- 

 cated. -
