R. A. Blanchard (June) : A 6-acre field of early sweet corn 
near Charleston, southern part of the State, has eggs or larvae on 
every plant. The field has about 25 percent of the plants in tassel, 
with an occasional silk appearing. As high as five larvae observed 
in a single tassel, and each plant had several eggs on the leaves, 
tassels, or the silks, if present. Some last-instar larvae observed 
in the tassels or boring into newly formed ears. About 50 percent 
of the plants in the early planted dent corn fields had eggs or 
larvae. Larvae first to third instar.
