 ORIENTAL FRUIT-MOTH INJURY 



{Graplwlitha molesta Busck) 



Quinces in the eastern part of the United States are often found 

 at harvest time to be completely honeycombed by the tunnels caused 

 by the oriental fruit moth (pi. 20, C). As the name implies, this is 

 an insect of oriental origin. It reached this country about 1910 and 

 now occurs in practically all fruit sections east of the Rockies. Al- 

 though it has received more notice as a peach pest, it has a particular 

 preference for the quince. A great deal of attention has been given 

 to it by workers in the Department, as well as in the State experiment 

 stations, but adequate control measures cannot yet be recommended.
