86 MISCELLANEOUS RESULTS OF WOEK OF BUREAU IX. 



minute cases and feed on the foliage until fall, probably until the 

 last of September or first part of October, when they move to twigs to 

 hibernate, sometimes being packed around them by the hundreds. 

 Others hibernate under bits of bark on the trees or in crotches and 

 other sheltered spots. 



RECOMMENDATIONS. 



Where this insect becomes abundant enough to be injurious it 

 can with little doubt be controlled by spraying the trees with 

 arsenate of lead (at the rate of 3 pounds to 50 gallons of water) 

 when the buds are swelling — in March in central Florida and in 

 similar climates. When the larvae attack the foliage, this should be 

 similarly sprayed. 



Lime-sulphur mixture applied during the dormant season would 

 undoubtedly give good results. 



Where trees are sprayed in spring for the budworm (Proteopteryx 

 deludana Clem.) no further treatment will be required for the case- 

 bearer.
