As is shown in Table I, the time of emerging of all moths varied 
from May 9 to July 12. The greatest number of moths to emerge 
on any one day was 16, and these individuals issued on June 19. 
There was no marked period when the vast majority of adults "came 
forth, as is sometimes the case with certain species. A summary of 
Table I shows that 45 emerged from May 9 to 31, 78 from June 1 to 15, 
and 104 from June 16 to 30, making in all for June a total of 182; 
and 42 from July 1 to 12. Most of the moths issued during the 
month of June, and somewhat the greater number during the latter 
half of the month. In pecan orchards moths were not commonly 
seen until the early part of June, and by the middle of July they 
were rarely observed; but belated individuals were met until the last 
days of July. 
Rearing cages to determine the emergence of moths during 1914 
were examined daily, except on June 7, 14, 16, 21, 28, July 5, 12, 19, 
26, and August 2. The dates of issuance of 385 individuals are 
shown in Table II.
