Ira M. Kawley (May 14}: This insect is spreading in counties where 
it has been introduced, and egg masses are much more abundant than in 
former years. 
H. J. Pack (May IS): An unusual infestation appears likely in Cache 
County this year. Egg masses are very numerous, and hatching has been 
going on for the past few days . 
APPLE AND THORN SKELETONIZER ( Heraero ohila rariana Clerck) 
P. Garman (April 26): Numbers of adults were observed about apple 
trees in New Kaven and north Branford on the 20th and 26th. 
New York P. D. Rupert (Kay 
Upper Red Hock. 
56): Young larvae are starting to skeletonize at 
Henry Bird (May 17): This insect has not been observed as yet at Rye, 
and since the last fall brood of adults was very much smaller than was 
the case in IS 21, the chances are that there may not be much of an 
outbreak during the coming season. 
BUB MOTH ( Tmetocera ocellana D . & S .) 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (May 22): The bud moth seems to be occurring more or 
less abundantly in some sections of the State. P report has been 
received from the County Agent of Bristol County, stating that they 
are finding them in some abundance. Here at Amherst they also 
appear to oe more abundant than last year, though not in numbers 
enough to cause serious damage. 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants: This insect is reported as moderately 
abundant throughout the western part of the State. A single case 
of serious infestation has been reported from Wayne County, where 
from 5 to 25 per cent of the buds were destroyed where the delayed- 
dormant spray was not applied or was aoplied too late. 
APPLE TENT CATERPILLAR ( Malacesoma am eric an a Fab.) 
New Hampshire P. R. Lowry (May 16): 
year in several places 
to apple. 
This insect is much more numerous than last 
and I have noticed rather severe defoliation 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (May 22): This insect began hatching in the region 
about Amherst April 20, and was reported as hatching somewhat earlier 
in the eastern part of the State. It is reported as being exceed- 
ingly prevalent this year, reports having oeen received from Essex, 
Middlesex, Worcester, Bristol, and Plymouth Counties. One report 
from the town of Harford in Worcester County estimates an increase 
over last year of from 50 to 60 per cent. This insect is decidedly 
on the increase in all sections of the State and bears out predictions 
made from the abundance of egg masses early in the season. Delayed- 
dormant spray seems to have controlled this pest.
