In fruit cellar. — Observations were also taken of the time of emer- 

 gence of moths of the spring brood in a fruit cellar beneath a large 

 packing house where considerable wormy fruit had been temporarily 

 stored the previous fall. The records are from moths secured from 

 a cage containing wintering larvae and also from moths captured at 

 a screened window. The observations were made only on the dates 

 recorded in Table LIX. In this table it will be seen that 105 moths 

 emerged in the cage, while 48 were captured at the window. In 

 the latter connection it should be borne in mind that the records 

 of the insects found at the window do not necessarily indicate the 

 true time of their emergence. The emergence period of the caged 

 insects in the fruit cellar was somewhat similar to that in the labora- 

 tory cellar. 



It will be observed from the foregoing that moths may be ex- 

 pected to emerge from fruit cellars later than those out-of-doors, 

 and this emergence augments, to a certain extent, the late injury as 

 caused by the first brood of larvse.

TIME OF DAY MOTHS EMERGE. 



During the seasons of 1915 and 1916 observations were made to 

 obtain data relative to the time of day the moths of the spring and 

 first broods emerged in largest numbers. These studies are reported 

 herewith.
