butterfly. The eggs are laid on the leaves and 
stems of cotton, cowpeas, and various other plants. 
The larvie feed on beans, cowpeas, hops, and 
peaches, but seem to prefer cotton.

dies, although a thorough dusting with Paris Green 
will control the pests. In most cases, however, the 
little wasps that are parasitic upon the borers are 
so numerous as to hold them completely in check.
