MISCELLANEOUS FEEDERS 
PAINTED LADY BUTTERFLY ( Vanessa cardui L. ) 
The Evening Star, Washington, D. C. (June 26): C. B. Williams, 
chief entomologist of the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture has 
found that the "painted lady" "butterfly has migrated from Africa 
to Iceland on a number of occasions. The distance is over 4,000 
miles, and it is usually covered in three to four months. The 
"butterflies show up in Iceland in July, leaving Africa and Asia 
Minor in April. Only the hardiest among the flyers succeed in 
making the immigration, however, 
SEED CORN MAGGOT (Hylemyia c ilicrura Rond. )

in Nassau County.

in Yates County. 
H. A 8 Cos sard (June 23): The seed corn maggot was received June

E. L. Chambers (June 10): Specimens of Wardwells kidney wax 
beans were sent in by the Bayfield Canning Company, Bayfield,

by Hylemyia fusciceps . 
Stewart tockwood (June 8): Larva is doing slight damage to young 
Great Northern bean seedlings, 
Don C, Mote: The seed corn maggot has appeared this season in 
destructive numbers in three corners of the State; northwest, 
northeast, and southeast. It has been attacking beans, wheat, 
barley, watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumber seed and the young 
sprouted plants. Heaviest infestation was observed upon alfalfa 
sol land and land just recently cleared, although report comes 
from Lakeview, where the maggot is attacking grain, that the 
land was in grain last year. However, the soil here is an old 
lake bed, rich in organic matter - - this spring wet and cold and 
seed drilled rather deep. Apparently ideal conditions for 
maggot infestation.
