FRUIT INSECTS 
CHERRY SCALE ( Aspidiotus forbesi Johns.) 
California. S. Lockwood (May 5)* Yesterday Forbes scale was found by the 
writer on toyon in Yolo County. This, I believe, is the second report 
on. the presence of this scale in California and represents to us a new 
county infested and a new host. 
APPLE 
CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L.) 
New York. D. W. Hamilton (May 2^-): Pupae were found as early as May 10 at 
Poughkeepsie; however, no emergence has occurred to date. A heavy second 
brood in many orchards in 193& an< i a mild winter, with a minimum tempera- 
ture of U° F. , indicates that a heavy flight of spring brood moths may 
be expected. 
Pennsylvania. H. N. Worthley (May): Moths were first taken in bait pails 
on May 19 in south-central Pennsylvania and began to emerge in cages on 
the tree trunks on May 20. This is 9 days later than in 1936. Winter 
carry-over of larvae has been heavier than in recent years. 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (May 22): Pupation of over-wintered larvae on May l6 
was 9^ percent; first emergence of spring-brood moths in southern Dela- 
ware on May 6 and in northern Delaware on May lH; first moths collected 
in bait pans on May 13; first first-brood eggs deposited, May l6; no 
larvae hatched as yet. Development delayed a full week, as compared 
with 1936. 
Virginia. A. M. Woodside (May 15): Moth emergence started late in Augusta 
County. and has been slow. The first moths were taken in bait traps on 
May 15 » although a few emerged in the lofts of packing sheds as early as 
May 10. 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (May 22): Spring-brood emergence about over. First- 
brood eggs hatching and half-grown larvae noted in apples at Cornelia, 
northeastern Georgia. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 2U): Adults were first caught in bait pans in Law- 
rence County, southern Ohio, on May 17, and at Columbus on May 23. With 
one or two exceptions, the nights have been too cool for egg laying and 
development is 10 days behind that of 1936. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (May 27): Codling moth wintered in large numbers, but 
the cold, wet weather prevailing up until a week or 10 days ago, has 
delayed emergence and egg laying. No emergence north of Lafayette, 
according to our observations. The first eggs hatched at Orleans on 
May 27.
