BULLETIN 429;, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



The occurrence of the larvae of the codling moth in orchards as 

 shown by results of the band records is graphically described by 

 means of curves in figure 5. From this figure it may be deduced 

 that the greatest number of larvse of the first brood leaving the fruit 

 was found to occur about June 7. Larvae of the second brood 

 appeared under the bands in greatest numbers in the neighborhood 

 of July 25, or practically 50 days after a maximum was found in the 

 first brood. With reference to the third brood it will be noted that 

 the greatest number of larvae were found September 14, which is 

 just 51 days following the corresponding stage of the second genera- 

 tion. These figures agree very well, however, with the conclusion

Mex., 1912. (Original.) 



drawn from records obtained in the rearing shelter with insects in 

 confinement. (See summary tables on the different generations.) 



SEASONAL-HISTORY STUDIES OF 1913. 



The results of the 1013 life-history studies of the codfing moth do 

 not, in general, differ greatly from those obtained the previous year. 

 They are, however, somewhat more complete and detailed in certain 

 respects, and are therefore more satisfactory, for the observations 

 during this season were conducted under more favorable conditions. 



SOURCE OF REARING MATERIAL. 



Rearing material consisted of wintering larvae of 1912, kept in an 

 outside shelter and subjected to existing weather conditions, and 

 other material which could be considered quite normal and from 

 which reliable conclusions could be drawn.
