habits. 
The Cranberry Fruit-worm (Jineola vaccinii Riley) 
The growing berries are eaten into and the contents devoured by a 
small, greenish caterpillar, half an inch long when fullgrown. The work 
begins when the berries are small, and con- 
tinues until they are coloring up, the cat- 
erpillar entering one berry after another 
by a small hole, usually thus destroying 
three or four by the time it is full grown.
