No. 230. — The Red-striped Cranberry Worm. 



This larva, which is shown in Fig. 385, has been observed 

 by Dr. Packard injuring the heads of cranberry-plants in 

 Massachusetts. It draws and fastens the leaves together and 

 feeds on their upper surface, and sometimes constructs a tube 

 of silk between two leaves, when the latter are severed from 

 their connection with the branch and held in place by silken 

 threads. In these instances the leaves speedily wither and 

 turn brown, and it often happens that the tips of vines over 

 large patches will present a brown and withered aspect from 

 this cause.
