To recognize leaves that are attacked, requires very little skill. 

 (They may be attacked by either this or the succeeding species). 

 They are slightly drawn together, and present a contorted appear- 



The holes made in the leaves are easily seen, and often a further 

 indication of the presence of the insect is that the holes are woven 

 over with silk which prevents ants and other natural enemies from

 be taken as a fair average. When adult the larva coils a portion ot 

 the leaf over itself and pupates. The colour of the pupa is light
