T. minuta Rob. Have it from every county 

 in the State : the larva feeds universally 

 on apple, but is also destructive on cran- 

 berry bogs where it is known as the " fire 

 worm." There are three broods, the >f- 



hibernating winter form being slate gray, ?5$%£^ id £; '■- */~* 



the summer broods orange. The most i \ i^- < 



satisfactory method of dealing with these Fig 232 _ Tgnu mj)iuta . enlarged 

 insects is to reflow the iufested bogs when 



they have hatched generally. If this is not feasible, hold the water as 

 late as possible to induce oviposition elsewhere.

 preceding.
